The bile acid TUDCA reduces age-related hyperinsulinemia in mice
Aging is associated with glucose metabolism disturbances, such as insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia, which contribute to the increased prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and its complications in the elderly population.

Aging Reduces Insulin Clearance in Mice
Hyperinsulinemia is frequently associated with aging and may cause insulin resistance in elderly. Since insulin secretion and clearance decline with age, hyperinsulinemia seems to be maintained, primarily, due to a decrease in the insulin clearance.

Perivascular macrophages in high-fat diet-induced hypothalamic inflammation
Brain macrophages and microglia are centrally involved in immune surveillance of the central nervous system. Upon inflammatory stimuli, they become reactive and release key molecules to prevent further damage to the neuronal network.
