Dysfunction of the sympathetic nervous system and increased epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) have been independently associated with the occurrence of cardiac arrhythmia. However, their exact roles in triggering arrhythmia remain elusive. Here, using an in vitro coculture system with sympathetic neurons, cardiomyocytes, and adipocytes, we show that adipocyte-derived leptin activates sympathetic neurons and increases the release of neuropeptide Y (NPY), which in turn triggers arrhythmia in cardiomyocytes by interacting with the Y1 receptor (Y1R) and subsequently enhancing the activity of the Na/Ca exchanger (NCX) and calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII).

Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a metabolically active organ which generates inflammatory cytokines. Thickness of EAT is associated with onset and development of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, it is still unclear the specific mechanisms and pharmacological targets on EAT induced inflammation in HFpEF.

Background: Epicardial Adipose Tissue (EAT) surrounds the epicardium and can mediate harmful effects related to Coronary Artery Disease (CAD).
Objective: We explored the regional differences between adipose stores surrounding diseased and non-diseased segments of coronary arteries in patients with advanced CAD.
Methods: We enrolled 32 patients with known CAD who underwent coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.

Objective: This study aimed to elucidate the mechanism by which hypertrophic adipocytes regulate insulin signaling in cardiac myocytes.
Methods: Palmitate was used to induce hypertrophic 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Exosomes were purified from normal control or hypertrophic 3T3-L1 adipocyte-associated conditioned medium.
