Changes in adipose tissue during aging and their effects to systemic aging. Compared to young adipose tissue, aged adipose tissue has enlarged, senescent adipocyte phenotype causing changes in adipokine secretion. Increase in inflammatory cells in adipose tissue secretes cytokines and chemokines that can circulate throughout the body. These changes during aging causes systemic inflammation and metabolic disorders.
