Aging Is Associated with an Increase in T Cells and Inflammatory Macrophages in Visceral Adipose Tissue
10 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
Age-related adiposity has been linked to chronic inflammatory diseases in late life. To date, the studies on adipose tissue leukocytes and aging have not taken into account the heterogeneity of adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs), nor have they examined how age impacts other leukocytes such as T cells in fat.
