E22 - Part 1: Timing of caloric restriction for longevity with Victoria Acosta-Rodriguez
Dr. Victoria Acosta-Rodriguez (Leader of the Circadian Biology of Aging Unit at the National Institute on Aging (NIA), USA) talks about her research on longevity and caloric restriction. In this first part, Victoria introduces us to longevity research: what kind of interventions and drugs are known to promote longevity and why precise terminology separating life- and healthspan is important. We discuss how the lifespan of mice relates to the lifespan of humans and to what degree we can therefore translate mice studies to the human setting. As we will learn, one intervention to promote longevity is caloric restriction, that is why Victoria also summarizes our current understanding of caloric restriction and defines its different forms.
