CALORIE RESTRICTION PROMOTES MITOCHONDRIAL BIOGENESIS – (11-21-05)

Calorie Restriction Promotes Mitochondrial Biogenesis by Inducing the Expression of eNOS Despite reading the ads and articles you see everywhere, the ONLY approach that has been shown to improve lifespan in mammals is calorie restriction without nutrient restriction. Period. However, the pharmaceutical companies are looking for what physiological pathways are triggered with caloric restriction so […]

CALORIE RESTRICTION INCREASES LIFE SPAN IN MAMMALS – (03-27-06)

Calorie restriction induces mitochondrial biogenesis and bioenergetic efficiency We’re at another article that illustrates the incredible complexity with which our bodies operate. As background, the only thing that has consistently shown to increase lifespan in mammals is calorie restriction without nutrient restriction. But the real reasons why this occurs have been unclear. In this particular […]
