Abstract excerpt
Caloric restriction (CR) reduces tumor incidence and retards aging in laboratory animals, including non-human primates. Because of the relationships among mutation, disease susceptibility, and aging, we investigated whether or not CR affects the accumulation of somatic cell mutations in aging animals. Starting at approximately 2 months of age, male CD rats (Harlan Sprague-Dawley-derived) were placed on different...
