Summary
This study looked at whether the diabetes drug metformin can slow aging in people without diabetes. Researchers wanted to see if the drug works differently depending on how sensitive a person is to insulin. Over 12 weeks, 101 healthy adults took either metformin or a placebo. The goal was to measure changes in insulin sensitivity, blood sugar control, and cell energy (mitochondria) to understand who might benefit most from metformin as an anti-aging treatment.
