Physical activity delays ovarian aging in part through adiponectin-related signaling pathways.

Nature aging·August 14, 2026·PMID 42601407

Why it matters

Ovarian aging drives infertility and chronic disease risk, yet no approved therapies exist. This paper identifies a modifiable lifestyle factor—physical activity—and a specific molecular pathway (adiponectin signaling) that may protect ovarian function, offering a potential target for interventions to extend reproductive lifespan.
