Why Does the Aging Metabolism Bias Towards Fat Accumulation and Lipid Deposition?

Irina Conboy’s pithy description of what aging does to the operation of metabolism runs much as follows: “stem cells are sleeping, so damage is not regenerated. Instead you now make fibrous tissue, and deposit fat tissue to replace the damage. Then gradually over time, you just turn into this big scar and big fat blob.” It is certainly the case that the older body seems to tend to hold on to lipids, create fat tissue, and put fats and other lipids into cells where they are usually not found in large amounts in youth. We might well ask why this happens. Is it the result of damage, some form of dysregulation of normal metabolism that is entirely harmful, or is it at least in part an
