NCT ID NCT05653258
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study examines fat tissue from older adults to see how exercise, diet, or senolytic drugs affect cell health and metabolism. Researchers will take small fat samples and use advanced genetic analysis to map cell types and signs of aging. The goal is to better understand how lifestyle and treatments might improve insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance in older people.

- Active substance
- Lifestyle intervention (exercise and diet) and senolytics
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could reveal how fat cells change with age and how interventions like exercise or senolytics might improve metabolic health in older adults.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage exploratory study focused on cellular mapping, not a treatment trial. Results may not lead to direct clinical benefits or apply to broader populations.
