Additive regulation of hepatic gene expression by dwarfism and caloric restriction

Abstract excerpt

Disrupted growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor-1 signaling (DF) and caloric restriction (CR) extend life span and delay the onset of age-related diseases in rodents. In combination, these interventions additively extend life span. To investigate the molecular basis for these effects, we performed genome-wide, microarray expression analysis of liver from homozygous and heterozygous Ames dwarf mice fed ad...
