Female adipose tissue has improved adaptability and metabolic health compared to males in aged obesity

02-13-2020

Aging-US Volume 12, Issue 2 reported that Younger females are protected from adipose inflammation, but older post-menopausal females exhibit exaggerated visceral adiposity correlated with increased disease risk. Obesity accelerates the onset and progression of age-associated diseases, but it is unclear if aging and…
