Genetic regulation of fasting-induced longevity effects.

ABSTRACT: Research methods for the investigation of the biology of aging have often implicitly generalized strain-specific results. Dietary interventions, such as caloric restriction and periodic fasting, have been shown to enhance metabolic health and extend lifespan in preclinical models. However, inter-individual variation in physiological responses to these interventions, which affects their safety and efficacy when translated to humans, remains poorly understood despite being observed in multiple studies. In this study, we implemented intermittent fasting (IF) for two days per week in 10 inbred strains (n = 800 mice) from the Collaborative Cross (CC). The CC is a multiparent recombinant inbred strain panel that offers a diverse collection of reproducible models to study the genetic control of h
