Abstract excerpt
Caloric restriction (CR) is currently the only therapeutic intervention known to attenuate aging in mammals, but the underlying mechanisms of this phenomenon are still poorly understood. To get more insight into these mechanisms, we took advantage of the alphaMUPA transgenic mice that previously were reported to spontaneously eat less and live longer compared with their wild-type control mice. Currently, two...
