Body mass index is associated with epigenetic age acceleration in the visceral adipose tissue of subjects with severe obesity

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: There is solid evidence that obesity induces the acceleration of liver epigenetic aging. However, unlike easily accessible blood or subcutaneous adipose tissue, little is known about the impact of obesity on epigenetic aging of metabolically active visceral adipose tissue (VAT). Herein, we aimed to test whether obesity accelerates VAT epigenetic aging in subjects with severe obesity. RESULTS: )....
