Does caloric restriction extend life in wild mice?
To investigate whether mice genetically unaltered by many generations of laboratory selection exhibit similar hormonal and demographic responses to caloric restriction (CR) as laboratory rodents, we performed CR on cohorts of genetically heterogeneous male mice which were grandoffspring of wild-caught ancestors. Although hormonal changes, specifically an increase in corticosterone and decrease ...
متن کاملRole of hormesis in life extension by caloric restriction.
Caloric restriction (CR) markedly extends the life of rats, mice and several other species, and it also modulates age-associated physiological deterioration and delays the occurrence and/or slows progression of age-associated diseases. The level of CR that retards the aging processes is a low-intensity stressor, which enhances the ability of rats and mice of all ages to cope with intense stress...
متن کاملCaloric restriction in humans.
Studies on mice and rats have demonstrated that calorie restriction (CR) slows primary aging, has a protective effect against secondary aging, and markedly decreases the incidence of malignancies. However, the only way to determine whether CR "works" in humans is to conduct studies on people. Such studies are difficult to perform in free-living people. While research on CR in humans is still at...
متن کاملCaloric Restriction Chronically Impairs Metabolic Programming in Mice
Although obesity rates are rapidly rising, caloric restriction remains one of the few safe therapies. Here we tested the hypothesis that obesity-associated disorders are caused by increased adipose tissue as opposed to excess dietary lipids. Fat mass (FM) of lean C57B6 mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD; FMC mice) was "clamped" to match the FM of mice maintained on a low-fat diet (standard diet [SD]...
متن کاملLifelong Caloric Restriction Increases Working Memory in Mice
Caloric restriction (CR) is argued to positively affect general health, longevity and the normally occurring age-related reduction of cognition. This issue is well examined, but most studies investigated the effect of short-term periods of CR. Herein, 4 weeks old female mice were fed caloric restricted for 4, 20 and especially for 74 weeks. CR mice received 60% of food eaten by their ad libitum...
