Single Nuclei RNA-seq to Map Adipose Cellular Populations and Senescent Cells in Older Subjects

1. Exercise: Subjects will undergo a combined aerobic and resistance exercise intervention. The investigators propose a multi-modal training program because they improve metabolic outcomes and adding resistance training reduces the risk of muscle loss during weight loss. Subjects will exercise in the gym for three sessions per week for 10 weeks under supervision of an exercise physiologist. On each session, aerobic exercise will be followed by resistance exercise. 2. Diet: The aim of the dietary intervention is to reduce caloric intake sufficient to result in 8-10% weight loss, while incorporating behavioral and dietary strategies to maximize adherence and to minimize risk of muscle and bone loss. Subjects will attend small-group sessions led by a dietitian for changing their dietary composition to follow American Heart Association (AHA)/American College of Cardiology (ACC) guidelines.

100 mg of dasatinib (D) daily for 3 consecutive days plus quercetin (Q) for the same 3 consecutive days, followed by a 25-day (+/- 2 day) no-drug period to complete a single round. This will be repeated twice more until completing 3 rounds total in approximately 10 consecutive weeks.

Quercetin (Q) (4) 250 mg capsules daily (total 1000 mg daily) plus dasatinib (D) same 3 consecutive days, followed by a 25-day (+/- 2 day) no-drug period to complete a single round. This will be repeated twice more until completing 3 rounds total in approximately 10 consecutive weeks.

Subjects will receive a placebo (methylcellulose) to provide a similar mass, number of tablets/ capsules, and frequency as the senolytic arm.

All participants will undergo baseline biopsies of subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue for cellular/molecular profiling via snRNA-seq
