Calorie restriction in rodents: Caveats to consider

DK Ingram, R de Cabo - Ageing research reviews, 2017 - Elsevier
The calorie restriction paradigm has provided one of the most widely used and most useful
tools for investigating mechanisms of aging and longevity. By far, rodent models have been …

Calories or protein? The effect of dietary restriction on lifespan in rodents is explained by calories alone

JR Speakman, SE Mitchell, M Mazidi - Experimental gerontology, 2016 - Elsevier
Almost exactly 100 years ago Osborne and colleagues demonstrated that restricting the food
intake of a small number of female rats extended their lifespan. In the 1930s experiments on …

Does diet influence aging? Evidence from animal studies

DG Le Couteur, D Raubenheimer… - Journal of Internal …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Nutrition profoundly influences the risk for many age‐related diseases. Whether nutrition
influences human aging biology directly is less clear. Studies in different animal species …

[HTML][HTML] Caloric restriction promotes structural and metabolic changes in the skin

MF Forni, J Peloggia, TT Braga, JEO Chinchilla… - Cell reports, 2017 - cell.com
Caloric restriction (CR) is the most effective intervention known to enhance lifespan, but its

Does eating less make you live longer and better? An update on calorie restriction

A Picca, V Pesce, AMS Lezza - Clinical interventions in aging, 2017 - Taylor & Francis
The complexity of aging is hard to be captured. However, apart from its tissue-specific
features, a structural and functional progressive decline of the whole organism that leads to …

The effects of graded calorie restriction XVII: Multitissue metabolomics reveals synthesis of carnitine and NAD, and tRNA charging as key pathways

LA García-Flores, CL Green… - Proceedings of the …, 2021 - National Acad Sciences
The evolutionary context of why caloric restriction (CR) activates physiological mechanisms
that slow the process of aging remains unclear. The main goal of this analysis was to …

[HTML][HTML] The effects of graded levels of calorie restriction: V. Impact of short term calorie and protein restriction on physical activity in the C57BL/6 mouse

SE Mitchell, C Delville, P Konstantopedos, D Derous… - Oncotarget, 2016 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Calorie restriction (CR) delays the onset of age-related disease and extends lifespan in a

[HTML][HTML] The effects of graded levels of calorie restriction: VIII. Impact of short term calorie and protein restriction on basal metabolic rate in the C57BL/6 mouse

SE Mitchell, ZH Tang, C Kerbois, C Delville, D Derous… - Oncotarget, 2017 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Under calorie restriction (CR) animals need to lower energy demands. Whether this involves
a reduction in cellular metabolism is an issue of contention. We exposed C57BL/6 mice to …
