Adipose Tissue

Exercise may be more difficult for those with type 2 diabetes and asymptomatic heart failure than those without these conditions due to more epicardial adipose tissue and abnormalities in the structure and function of the left ventricle, according to findings published in the Journal of Diabetes and its Complications.

Researchers from Joslin Diabetes Center will partner with more than three dozen collaborative science teams to “map” healthy adipose tissue as part of the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative’s Human Cell Atlas Project, according to an institution press release.
