Summary

This study looked at fat tissue from 31 healthy adults (young and older) to see how blocking a protein called MetAP2 changes aging-related markers in the lab. No drugs were given to participants—only tissue samples were studied. The goal was to learn more about aging, not to treat or cure anything.
