Short-term calorie restriction in male mice feminizes gene expression and alters key regulators of conserved aging regulatory pathways.
Calorie restriction (CR) is the only intervention known to extend lifespan in a wide range of organisms, including mammals. However, the mechanisms by which it regulates mammalian aging remain largely unknown, and the involvement of the TOR and sirtuin pathways (which regulate aging in simpler organ...
