Lymphocyte respiratory capacity

Chronological age is associated with lymphocyte respiratory capacity in humans (β = 0.135, p = 0.041).

“chronological age was positively associated with PBMC (maximal respiration [Max] β = 0.147, p = 0.028) and lymphocyte respiratory capacity (Max β = 0.135, p = 0.041).”
