Summary
This study looked at how getting older changes the way our bodies digest and absorb protein. Researchers compared 12 young adults (18-35 years) with 12 older adults (67+ years) by taking small tissue samples from the gut. The goal is to understand age-related changes so we can create better diets to help older people stay healthy and strong.
