  • There are two main strategies for scheduling personal goals: clock-time, which focuses on how much time has passed, and event-time, which is based on progress made.
  • Different strategies might work best depending on whether the goals are long-term or short-term.
  • A study with two experiments found that clock-time is better for long-term goals while event-time is more effective for short-term goals.

Dietary or caloric restriction confers various clinical benefits. Short-term fasting of mice is a common experimental procedure that may involve systemic metabolic remodeling, which may significantly affect experimental outputs. This study evaluated adaptive cellular responses after 1- or 2-day fasting in 13 mouse tissues by quantitative PCR using 15 marker primer sets for the activation of ubiquitin-proteasome (Atrogin-1 and MuRF1), autophagy-lysosome (LC3b, p62 and Lamp2), amino acid response (Asns, Trib3, Herpud1, xCT, and Chop), Nrf2-mediated antioxidant (HO-1 and Gsta1), and amino acid transport (Slc38a2, Slc7a5, and Slc7a1) systems.
