Senescent cells have been linked to the pathogenesis of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). However, the effectiveness of senolytic drugs in reducing liver damage in mice with MASLD is not clear. Additionally, MASLD has been reported to adversely affect male reproductive function.

MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs, which can regulate gene expression and be secreted by cells and trafficked in serum via exosomes. Serum miRNAs regulate tissue function and disease development.

Some studies have observed that the positive impacts of CR can be linked to restriction of protein (PR) and branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) independent of calorie intake. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of protein and BCAA restriction to 30% CR on the ovarian reserve of female mice.
