Biological effects of dietary restriction
National Center for Toxicological Research
1 online resource (xvi, 354 pages :) : illustrations.
How does dietary restriction affect the physiological and biochemical state of laboratory animals? How will the present conclusions affect further research? What are the implications for human health and safety assessment? These are the main questions asked in this book by leading international researchers. After a first look at feeding regimens and diets of laboratory animals, the book elaborates on a variety of age-associated toxicological and pathological endpoints including tumor development. The following sections detail the underlying mechanisms which may induce the broad spectrum of physiological and biochemical changes. This summary of current multidisciplinary research will enhance understanding of the practical applications and implications of dietary restriction.
Feeding Regimens and Diets -- Effects of Dietary Restriction on Toxicological Endpoints -- Effects and Mechanisms of Dietary Restriction: Physiological Consequences -- Effects and Mechanisms of Dietary Restriction: Biochemical Consequences -- Models for Dietary Restriction Research -- Impact of Dietary Restriction on Bioassays and Recommendations for Future Research.
Based on a conference convened in Washington, D.C., Mar. 5-7, 1990; cosponsored by the International Life Sciences Institute, National Center for Toxicological Research, and National Institute on Aging.
