Role of PVAT in vascular responses and adiponectin measurement. A, Arteries examined in the myograph without and with PVAT, control mice. B, I-MetS mice showed PVAT with anticontractile properties similar to control mice. C, MetS mice did not present with this effect anymore (Data presented as mean ± SEM, n = 4 mice/group, ***P < 0.001). D, Lower levels of high-molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin in relation to total adiponectin in serum were seen only in MetS mice (Data presented as mean ± SEM, n = 5 mice/group, *P <0.05, ns = not significant).
