The Potential for Nutritional Modulation of Aging Processes: Proceedings of an International ConferenceDonald K. Ingram, George T. Baker, Nathan Wetherill Shock Abstract: Reports the proceedings of a conference on the fundamental effects of nutritional variables on aging processes. Variables range from population demography and epidemiology to biochemistry and molecular genetics to the involvement of nutritional variables in the etiology of specific diseases. Research on animal models of the effects of calorie restriction on a number of age-related phenomena ranging from genetic expression to learning and memory and the involvement of specific nutrients on age-related processes are presented. |
