A life-span study was carried out on longevity, pathologic lesions, growth, lean body mass and selected aspects of muscle of barrier-maintained SPF Fischer 344 rats fed either ad libitum (Group A)...

Dietary energy restriction has been a widely used means of experimentally extending mammalian life span. We report here that lifelong reduction in the concentration of a single dietary component, t...
Consider that living creatures, including mice and men, are assemblies of biological systems, all working together at different levels — molecular, subcellular, cellular, tissue, and organ. Life span is determined by the first biological system to fail beyond compensation. This has a critical implication for experimental design when studying basic mechanisms of aging. We define an aging mechanism as one that coordinates the expression of diverse biomarkers of aging or that couples biomarkers of aging with life span. We do not yet know what th ...
The life span of erythrocytes in pregnant rats is shorter than in nonpregnant ones. A similar shift in the age distribution of pregnant rat and pregnant human erythrocytes is probably associated wi...

Restricting food intake to 60% that of ad libitum-fed rats results in an extended life span, reduced incidence of age-related diseases, and delayed reproductive senescence. We used this animal mode...
