Follistatin Alleviates Vascular Dysfunction by Reducing Oxidative Stress and Promoting Browning in Perivascular Adipose Tissue

BACKGROUND: Essential hypertension, characterized by vascular dysfunction, remains a leading modifiable cause of death globally. Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT), which normally reduces vasoconstriction, becomes contractile in hypertension due to increased reactive oxygen speci...
