BackgroundDNA methylation plays a key role in mediating the anti-aging effects of glucose-lowering drugs. This study aims to systematically explore the potential anti-aging effects of target genes of FDA-approved glucose-lowering drugs and the underlying epigenetic mediators. MethodWe conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study to investigate the putative causal relationships between the gene expression levels of glucose-lowering drug targets and 10 aging-related phenotypes, follo...
