Taurine levels and exercise in older women with obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how exercise affects taurine levels in women aged 60-75 with obesity. It aims to see if taurine levels differ between women who are metabolically healthy obese and those with metabolic issues, and how exercise impacts them.
