Abstract

Male reproductive aging is increasingly recognized as a systemic process in which inflammaging(definition) drives progressive dysfunction of urogenital tissues. Key mechanisms include immune-metabolic alterations, activation of the NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, as well as epigenetic remodeling. Evidence from experimental and clinical studies suggests that these processes are often investigated independently, and integrative models in humans remain limited. Here, we propose a conceptual framework linking the prostate, testis, and skeletal muscle, in which oxidative stress may act as a mediator amplifying systemic dysregulation at different levels during the aging process. Lifestyle and metabolic interventions, including caloric restriction(definition), resistance exercise, and selected nutraceuticals, may act as key modulators of inflammaging pathways, thus highlighting new potential targets for precision medicine approaches.
