Lipolysis declines with age because NLRP3 inflammasome-activated adipose tissue macrophages reduce levels of noradrenaline by upregulating genes that control its degradation, such as
GDF3
and
MAOA
.
The age old problem of fat breakdown
With increasing age, lipolysis (the breakdown of fats in the body) induced by catecholamines dec...
