Age-related frailty and immune impairments can be partially reversed in animals.
Immune cells called eosinophils in belly fat regulate chronic low-grade inflammation & ageing processes.
With age, their numbers in belly fat decline while pro-inflammatory macrophages increase.
“...transfers of eosinophils from young mice into aged recipients resolved not only local but also systemic low-grade inflammation,.." - Dr. Eggel, University of Bern.
Aged animals showed a rejuvenating effect on the physical fitness and immune system.
Age-related changes in adipose immune cell distribution in mice were also confirmed in humans.
