#Dietary restriction impacts health and #lifespan of genetically diverse mice

Caloric restriction extends healthy lifespan in multiple species1. Intermittent fasting, an alternative form of dietary restriction, is potentially more sustainable in humans, but its effectiveness remains largely unexplored2,3,4,5,6,7,8. Identifying the most efficacious forms of dietary restriction is key for developing interventions to improve human health and longevity9. Here we performed an extensive assessment of graded… Continue reading #Dietary restriction impacts health and #lifespan of genetically diverse mice

Effect of long-term #caloric restriction on telomere length in healthy adults: CALERIE™ 2 trial analysis

Caloric restriction (CR) modifies lifespan and aging biology in animal models. The Comprehensive Assessment of Long-Term Effects of Reducing Intake of Energy (CALERIE™) 2 trial tested translation of these findings to humans. CALERIE™ randomized healthy, nonobese men and premenopausal women (age 21–50y; BMI 22.0–27.9 kg/m2), to 25% CR or ad-libitum (AL) control (2:1) for 2 years. Prior… Continue reading Effect of long-term #caloric restriction on telomere length in healthy adults: CALERIE™ 2 trial analysis

OXR1 maintains the retromer to delay brain #aging under #dietary restriction

Dietary restriction (DR) delays aging, but the mechanism remains unclear. We identified polymorphisms in mtd, the fly homolog of OXR1, which influenced lifespan and mtd expression in response to DR. Knockdown in adulthood inhibited DR-mediated lifespan extension in female flies. We found that mtd/OXR1 expression declines with age and it interacts with the retromer, which regulates trafficking of proteins and lipids.… Continue reading OXR1 maintains the retromer to delay brain #aging under #dietary restriction

Association of Eating and Sleeping Intervals With Weight Change Over Time: The Daily24 Cohort

BackgroundWe aim to evaluate the association between meal intervals and weight trajectory among adults from a clinical cohort.Methods and ResultsThis is a multisite prospective cohort study of adults recruited from 3 health systems. Over the 6‐month study period, 547 participants downloaded and used a mobile application to record the timing of meals and sleep for… Continue reading Association of Eating and Sleeping Intervals With Weight Change Over Time: The Daily24 Cohort

Inflammaging is driven by upregulation of innate immune receptors and systemic interferon signaling and is ameliorated by dietary restriction

Highlights•Innate immune system receptors/interferon/Stat1 axis triggers inflammaging•Both lifetime and short-time dietary restriction (DR) treatments ameliorate inflammaging•Transcriptome alteration caused by aging, lifetime, or short-term DR are tissue specific•Aging induces a general open chromatin rearrangement, which is not rescued by DRSummaryAging is characterized by a chronic low-grade inflammation known as inflammaging in multiple tissues, representing a risk… Continue reading Inflammaging is driven by upregulation of innate immune receptors and systemic interferon signaling and is ameliorated by dietary restriction

Circadian alignment of early onset caloric restriction promotes longevity in male C57BL/6J mice

Caloric restriction (CR) prolongs lifespan, yet the mechanisms by which it does so remain poorly understood. Under CR, mice self-impose chronic cycles of 2-hour-feeding and 22-hour-fasting, raising the question whether calories, fasting, or time of day are causal. We show that 30%-CR is sufficient to extend lifespan 10%; however, a daily fasting interval and circadian-alignment… Continue reading Circadian alignment of early onset caloric restriction promotes longevity in male C57BL/6J mice

Effect of #caloric restriction with or without physical #activity on body composition and epicardial #fat in type 2 diabetic patients: a pilot randomized controlled trial

There is debate over the independent and combined effects of caloric restriction (CR) and physical activity (PA) on reduction in fat mass and in epicardial fat thickness. We compared the impact of a similar energy deficit prescription by CR or by CR combined with PA on total fat mass, epicardial fat thickness, and cardiometabolic profile… Continue reading Effect of #caloric restriction with or without physical #activity on body composition and epicardial #fat in type 2 diabetic patients: a pilot randomized controlled trial

#Metabolic adaptation to #calorie restriction

Calorie restriction (CR) enhances health span (the length of time that an organism remains healthy) and increases longevity across species. In mice, these beneficial effects are partly mediated by the lowering of core body temperature that occurs during CR. Conversely, the favorable effects of CR on health span are mitigated by elevating ambient temperature to… Continue reading #Metabolic adaptation to #calorie restriction
