Calorie Restriction Increases Muscle Mitochondrial Biogenesis in Healthy Humans
1 Mar 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Caloric restriction without malnutrition extends life span in a range of organisms including insects and mammals and lowers free radical production by the mitochondria. However, the mechanism responsible for this adaptation are poorly understood. METHODS AND FINDINGS: The current study was undertaken to examine muscle mitochondrial bioenergetics in response to caloric restriction alone or in...
