Article Synopsis
- The study followed 38-month-old mouse lemurs to see if caloric restriction (CR) or resveratrol (RSV) could delay aging and age-related diseases.
- Mouse lemurs were divided into three groups: a control group, a CR group (fed 70% of normal calories), and an RSV group (given resveratrol while eating normally).
- After one year, both CR and RSV altered metabolic responses but did not significantly change body composition or hormonal levels, with mice adapting well to their diets.
Deficits in autonomic thermoregulatory capacities have been identified in aged humans and animals, but little is known about the effect of aging on behavioral thermoregulation and the potential effect of season. Preferred ambient temperature (T(a)) in a thermal gradient (available T(a)s from 10 to 30 degrees C) was measured in the mouse lemur, a nocturnal Malagasy primate. Male mouse lemurs (40 adults and 40 aged) were studied under short (SP, resting season) and long photoperiod (LP, breeding season).
