caloric restriction

Fasting, eating only at certain times of day, and restricting overall calorie intake can collectively contribute to lifespan extensions in animals. Could the same hold true in humans?

A study identifies a gene that appears to be partially responsible for the health effects of a limited diet.

Findings from a randomized, controlled trial finds that reducing food intake decreases metabolism and reduces oxidative damage to tissues and cells.

A heat map of gene expression provides insights on the genes that help C. elegans survive severe caloric restriction.  

Food restriction decreases a metabolite that impedes associative learning in worms.
