Fig. 4From: Autophagy, a critical element in the aging male reproductive disorders and prostate cancer: a therapeutic point of viewThe role of aging-related decline of autophagy in Inflammaging. The aging process leads to a decrease in autophagy, resulting in the abnormal accumulation of proteins and dysfunctional organelles (especially mitochondria), which is one of the mechanisms that lead to Inflammaging.
