摘要
1. Putative physiological functions of human epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) include: (i) lipid storage for the energy needs of the myocardium; (ii) thermoregulation, whereby brown fat components of EAT generate heat by non-shivering thermogenesis in response to core cooling; (iii) neuroprotection of the cardiac autonomic ganglia and nerves; and (iv) regulation of vasomotion and luminal size of the coronary arteries. Under pathophysiological circumstances, EAT may play an adverse paracrine role in cardiac arrhythmias and in lipotoxic cardiomyopathy, but of major current interest is its hypothetical role as an immunological organ contributing to inflammation around coronary artery disease (CAD).
