Background Caloric restriction is associated with broad therapeutic potential in various diseases and an increase in health and life span. In this study, we assessed the impact of caloric restriction on acute and inflammatory nociception in mice, which were either fed ad libitum or subjected to caloric restriction with 80% of the daily average for two weeks. Results The behavioral tests revea...

It has long been held that food restriction extends the life span of rodents and other species by decreasing caloric intake and slowing the rate of aging. Recent findings challenge these concepts. This review assesses these controversial issues. The conclusion is that caloric restriction underlies the life extension of rats, but not of Drosophila. Mortality characteristics show that food restri...

Background Caloric restriction induces mitochondrial biogenesis and improves physical fitness in rodents. We aimed to provide evidence of how caloric restriction affects the body composition and physical performance of trained athletes and to evaluate the possible impact of an every-other-day feeding diet on nutritional deficiencies of micronutrients and essential fatty acids. Methods The stu...

background: due to the wholesome benefits of nuts increased consumption of them has been recommended. however, because of nut’s high energy density, the role of them in the treatment of overweight and obesity is vague. this current clinical trial study aims to investigate the effects of a balanced hypocaloric almond-enriched diet (aed) (almond group) in comparison to a balanced hypocaloric nu...

The inhibitory effect of caloric restriction on the formation of tumors in the mouse has been shown (1 I) to be dependent on the actual degree of caloric restriction. Previously it had been demonstrated (8) that restriction of caloric intake to about 60 per cent of the ad libitum intake causes an inhibition in tumor formation regardless of whether only the carbohydrate component is restricted (...
