Figure Lengend Snippet: Increased senescent T-cells in insulin-resistant ( IR ) women versus metabolically healthy controls ( HC ). Flow cytometry was used to test peripheral white blood cells (WBCs) from 9 insulin-resistant women (HbA1c = 5.7–6.3) vs. 13 metabolically healthy women (HbA1 < 5.7) for beta-galactosidase (SA-beta-gal) activity, a marker of senescence. There was a significant increase in the percentage of senescent CD4+- and CD8+-positive T-cells in insulin-resistant women vs. healthy women; ** p = 0.0046 and * p = 0.0245, respectively.
Article Snippet: PBMCs (1.0 × 10 6 ) were prepared for flow cytometry by staining for the immune cell subsets, CD45+CD3+CD4+ T-cells, and CD45+CD3+CD8+ T-cells using anti-human CD45 V500 (BD Biosciences, Frankliin Lakes, NJ, USA, Catalog No. 560777), anti-human CD3 Super Bright 600 (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA, Catalog No. 63-0037-42), anti-human CD4 PE-Cy7 (BD Biosciences, Catalog No. 348789), and anti-human CD8 cFlourYG610 (Cytek Biosciences, Fremont, CA, USA, Catalog No. R7-20245).
