Adipose tissue inflammation in aging.
Experimental Gerontology 2018 May
Adipose tissue has traditionally been viewed as an organ of interest within studies of obesity and diet-associated metabolic disorders. However, as studies reveal the role white adipose tissue plays as an energy storage, a lipid metabolism site, and an adipokine secretor, it has become recognized as an organ of importance for metabolic health in both the young obese and the old obese. Within the realms of aging research, the pursuit of senolytics has taken the field's spotlight, where the clearance of senescent cells has shown to attenuate aspects of age-related disorders. More interestingly, these senolytics have also revealed that these senescent cells, specifically p16Ink4a cells, accumulate within adipose tissue, skeletal muscles, and eye (Baker et al., 2011). These results implicate the importance of adipose tissue inflammation in aging and widen the discussion on how senescent cells among other immune and non-immune cells cross paths to influence an organism's lifespan and healthspan.
