New Lifespan Extension Genes Found
New genes tied to lifespan extension in yeast have been identified by researchers from UC Davis and Harvard Medical School.   view more (2005-10-03)

Calorie restriction may prevent Alzheimer's through promotion of longevity program in the brain
A recent study directed by Mount Sinai School of Medicine suggests that experimental dietary regimens might calm or even reverse symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease (AD).   view more (2006-06-15)

Mouse Study: When It Comes To Living Longer, It's Better To Go Hungry Than Go Running
A study investigating aging in mice has found that hormonal changes that occur when mice eat significantly less may help explain an already established phenomenon: a low calorie diet can extend the lifespan of rodents, a benefit that even regular exercise does not achieve.   view more (2008-05-14)

Agent in red wine found to keep hearts young
How, scientists wonder, do the French get away with a clean bill of heart health despite a diet loaded with saturated fats?   view more (2008-06-04)

Calorie restriction in non-human primates may prevent and reduce Alzheimer's disease neuropathology
A new study directed by Mount Sinai School of Medicine extends and strengthens the research that experimental dietary regimens might halt or even reverse symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease (AD).   view more (2006-09-18)

People who restrict calories have 'younger' hearts
Study is first to associate calorie restriction with delayed primary aging in humans.   view more (2006-01-16)

Researchers find connection between caloric restriction and longevity
For nearly 70 years scientists have known that caloric restriction prolongs life. In everything from yeast to primates, a significant decrease in calories can extend lifespan by as much as one-third. But getting under the hood of the molecular machinery that drives this longevity has remained... view more (2007-09-21)

Alcohol and sleep restriction can affect young men's alertness and driving performance
Combining low-dose alcohol with moderate sleep restriction can have a significant adverse effect on young men's subjective alertness and performance behind the wheel.   view more (2007-10-01)

Caloric restriction appears to prevent primary aging in the heart
Eating a very low-calorie yet nutritionally balanced diet is good for your heart. Studying heart function in members of an organization called the Caloric Restriction Society.   view more (2006-01-13)

Substance in red wine found to keep hearts young
How do the French get away with a clean bill of heart health despite a diet loaded with saturated fats? Scientists have long suspected that the answer to the so-called "French paradox" lies in red wine. Now, the results of a new study bring them closer to understanding why.   view more (2008-06-05)

Key to longer life (in flies) lies in just 14 brain cells
Two years ago, Brown University researchers discovered something startling: Decrease the activity of the cancer-suppressing protein p53 and you can make fruit flies live significantly longer.   view more (2007-09-21)

Researchers find link between food odors and lifespan in fruit flies
Researchers hoping to learn why organisms tend to live longer if their intake of calories is restricted have made a startling discovery - in fruit flies, just the smell of food can have a negative effect on longevity.   view more (2007-02-02)

Severely Restricted Diet Linked to Physical Fitness into Old Age
Severely restricting calories leads to a longer life, scientists have proved.   view more (2007-10-25)

Researchers note differences between people and animals on calorie restriction
Calorie restriction, a diet that is low in calories and high in nutrition, may not be as effective at extending life in people as it is in rodents, according to scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.   view more (2008-09-25)

Eat less or exercise more? Either way leads to more youthful hearts
Overweight people who lose a moderate amount of weight get an immediate benefit in the form of better heart health, according to a study conducted at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. And the heart improvements happen whether that weight is shed by eating less or exercising... view more (2008-01-11)

Calorie restriction does not appear to induce bone loss in overweight adults
Young adults who follow a diet that is low in calories but nutritionally sound for six months appear to lose weight and fat without significant bone loss.   view more (2008-09-22)

UF scientists reveal how dietary restriction cleans cells
Reduce, recycle and rebuild is as important to the most basic component of the human body, the cell, as it is to the environment.   view more (2007-08-24)

Study finds a high caloric diet may prevent the progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
A recent study directed by the Mount Sinai School of Medicine suggests a ketogenic- high caloric diet may prevent the progression of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).   view more (2006-04-18)

Calorie restriction appears better than exercise at slowing primary aging
Investigators at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found that eating a low-calorie yet nutritionally balanced diet lowers concentrations of a thyroid hormone called triiodothyronine (T3), which controls the body's energy balance and cellular metabolism.   view more (2006-06-01)

Study shows cane sugar, corn sweeteners have similar effects on appetite
A new study of sweetened beverages shows that cane sugar and high fructose corn syrup have similar effects on hunger, fullness, and food consumption at lunch.   view more (2007-07-11)

Brain's 'sixth sense' for calories discovered
The brain can sense the calories in food, independent of the taste mechanism, researchers have found in studies with mice.   view more (2008-03-27)

Overproducing leptin receptors in fat cells may be key to halting weight gain
A new study by researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center suggests that when fat cells increase in size - as they do during the development of obesity - the cells progressively lose receptors for the hormone leptin, a powerful stimulus for fat burning.   view more (2005-12-01)

Calorie restriction inhibits, obesity fuels development of epithelial cancers
A restricted-calorie diet inhibited the development of precancerous growths in a two-step model of skin cancer, reducing the activation of two signaling pathways known to contribute to cancer growth and development, researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center report today at... view more (2008-04-15)

No evidence that melatonin is effective in treating jet lag
There is no evidence that melatonin is effective in treating secondary sleep disorders or preventing jet lag, finds a study published online by the BMJ today.   view more (2006-02-10)

Restricting diet may reverse early-stage Parkinson's disease
A new Oregon Health & Science University and Portland Veterans Affairs Medical Center study suggests that early-stage Parkinson's disease patients who lower their calorie intake may boost levels of an essential brain chemical lost from the neurodegenerative disorder.   view more (2005-11-16)
