A new study, ENabling Reduction of low-Grade Inflammation in SEniors Pilot (ENRGISE), has been posted to the AgingResearchBiobank website. Data and biospecimens from this study are now available for request.

The ENabling Reduction of low-Grade Inflammation in SEniors (ENRGISE) pilot study was conducted to test whether omega-3 fish oil and the angiotensin receptor blocker losartan alone or in combination can reduce inflammation and improve walking speed in older adults with mobility impairment.
