Cracking the aging code: Insights into lipid changes - EurekAlert
Researchers at RIKEN IMS in Japan have discovered numerous age-related changes in the lipid metabolism of mice, across both organs and sexes. Among these changes was the selective accumulation, throughout the body, of certain lipids produced by gut bacteria as the mice aged. They also discovered a sex difference in the kidneys and a gene responsible for it. This study could lead to better understanding of chronic age-related conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, atherosclerosis, kidney disease, and cancer.
