Abstract: ) mRNA, which might signify improvement of body condition. The important finding of our study was that a mild CR regimen, as low as 10 and 20%, was sufficient to impair glycemia in a non-fasted state, and also the levels of plasma IGF-1, corroborating the concept that mild CR has the potential for improving health and longevity, even when started later in life.
