INTRODUCTION Calorie intake from beverages has increased in the past decades, which most likely contributes to higher obesity rates.

However, as the total calorie intake was similar between the groups, we speculated that weight gain...

Calorie restriction has been known formany decades to extend the life span of rodents. Since the more recent discovery that a long-term reduction in nutrient intake also extends life span in nearly every invertebrate model organism used for aging research, the mechanisms behind the longevity benefits of this intervention have been under intense scrutiny. While models have been developed in yeas...
