Inhibition of Age-Related Cytokines Production by ATGL: A Mechanism Linked to the Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Resveratrol

Figure 4

Schematic representation of the ATGL-dependent anti-inflammatory action of resveratrol. Aged adipocytes are characterized by impaired ATGL/FA/PPARα signalling pathways and by the production of proinflammatory cytokines (TNFα and IL-6). Resveratrol induces ATGL upregulation, activating FA-mediated PPARα anti-inflammatory effect. ATGL: adipose triglyceride lipase; FA: fatty acid; IL-6: interleukin 6; LD: lipid droplet; NFκB: uclear factor kappa beta; PPARα: peroxisome proliferator activated receptor α.
