[HTML][HTML] Comparing the effects of low-protein and high-carbohydrate diets and caloric restriction on brain aging in mice
Calorie restriction (CR) increases lifespan and improves brain health in mice. Ad libitum low-
protein, high-carbohydrate (LPHC) diets also extend lifespan, but it is not known whether …
