Abstract
Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT) is a type of fat tissue that can generate heat and plays an important role in regulating body temperature and energy metabolism. Enhancing BAT activity through medication, exercise and other means has become a potential effective method for treating metabolic disorders. Recently, there has been increasing evidence suggesting a link between BAT and aging. As humans age, the volume and activity of BAT decrease, which may contribute to the development of age-related diseases. Multiple organelles signaling pathways have been reported to be involved in the aging process associated with BAT. Therefore, we aimed to review the evidence related to the association between aging process and BAT decreasing, analyze the potential of BAT as a predictive marker for age-related diseases, and explore potential therapeutic strategies targeting BAT for aging interventions and healthy longevity.
棕色脂肪组织(BAT)是一种能产生热量的脂肪组织,在调节体温和能量代谢方面发挥着重要作用。通过药物、运动和其他方式增强棕色脂肪组织的活性已成为治疗代谢紊乱的潜在有效方法。最近,越来越多的证据表明,脂肪团与衰老之间存在联系。随着年龄的增长,BAT 的体积和活性都会下降,这可能会导致老年相关疾病的发生。据报道,多种细胞器信号通路参与了与 BAT 相关的衰老过程。因此,我们旨在回顾衰老过程与 BAT 减少之间相关的证据,分析 BAT 作为老年相关疾病预测标志物的潜力,并探索针对 BAT 的潜在治疗策略,以干预衰老和健康长寿。
期刊介绍:
The journal Biogerontology offers a platform for research which aims primarily at achieving healthy old age accompanied by improved longevity. The focus is on efforts to understand, prevent, cure or minimize age-related impairments.
Biogerontology provides a peer-reviewed forum for publishing original research data, new ideas and discussions on modulating the aging process by physical, chemical and biological means, including transgenic and knockout organisms; cell culture systems to develop new approaches and health care products for maintaining or recovering the lost biochemical functions; immunology, autoimmunity and infection in aging; vertebrates, invertebrates, micro-organisms and plants for experimental studies on genetic determinants of aging and longevity; biodemography and theoretical models linking aging and survival kinetics.
