NCT ID NCT07244809
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether early life adversity (like abuse or neglect) damages blood vessel function in young adults ages 18-29. Researchers will give participants a single dose of MitoQ, a supplement that targets cell energy centers, to see if it reduces stress-related damage. The goal is to understand the biological link between childhood stress and future heart disease.
