MKP‑2 genetic depletion changed adipose lipid profiles and lowered senescence markers in mice.

MKP‐2 Genetic Depletion Modulates Adipose Lipid Composition, Cellular Senescence, and Aging in Mice
Key Takeaways
  • MKP‑2 deletion changed adipose tissue lipid composition in mice.
  • Loss of MKP‑2 reduced cellular senescence markers in mouse adipose.
  • Findings were in mice and do not establish human efficacy.
