Voluntary exercise during weight loss attenuates adipose CD8+ T cell exhaustion that persists after weight regain

Okechukwu Kingsley Oforka, Emily C. P. LaVoy, Matthew A. Cottam, Munira Kapadia, Emily Nguyen, Caroline Hegemann, Alyssa H. Hasty, Nathan C. Winn, Heather L. Caslin

This study shows that voluntary exercise during weight loss reduces adipose CD8+ T cell exhaustion, which persists even after weight regain, but does not improve glucose tolerance or macrophage inflammation.

Weight loss increases adipose dendritic cells, non-classical antigen presenting proteins, and cytotoxic effector cells

Wishal Khan, Munira Kapadia, Eduardo Mancera, Emily C. P. LaVoy, Huaizhu Wu, Heather L. Caslin

The paper examines how weight loss and weight cycling affect adipose tissue dendritic cells and immune responses in mice, finding increased dendritic cells and effector cells with weight loss.
