Chronic Senolytic Treatment and/or Aerobic Exercise Reduce Senescence and Improve Myocardial Function During Aging in the Heart
Key Takeaways
  • Chronic senolytic administration reduced markers of cellular senescence in aged heart tissue compared with controls.
  • Regular aerobic exercise decreased senescence markers and improved myocardial contractile function versus sedentary aged subjects.
  • Combining senolytics with exercise produced greater improvements in cardiac function than either intervention alone.
