These results uncover a novel epigenetic mechanism underlying endothelial dysfunction in obesity. Targeting SUV39H1 may attenuate oxidative transcriptional programmes and thus prevent vascular disease in obese individuals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
