Summary
This study aims to measure how quickly proteins in the body are replaced (protein turnover) in healthy adults of different ages. Participants will drink small amounts of safe heavy water for 21 days and undergo tests including muscle and fat biopsies, imaging scans, and strength tests. The goal is to understand how aging affects protein turnover, which may help explain age-related health changes.
