Previous studies (under these conditions) show that short‐term CAP induces aortic vascular inflammation and aortic insulin and VEGF resistance in the absence of frank endothelial dysfunction (Haberzettl et al., 2012; Haberzettl, McCracken, et al., 2016; Haberzettl, O'Toole, et al., 2016). The gene discussed is VEGFA; the disease is endothelial dysfunction.
