| Summary |
"The question of how caloric restriction works is a major focus of research in biological gerontology. This book presents a wide spectrum of research findings as well as theories that address this question. It covers the field from Osborne and Mendel's work of nearly a century ago to current studies stemming from the effects of single gene mutations in invertebrate species. Aimed primarily at faculty, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students, it should also prove of interest to all biological gerontologists and geriatricians since it offers a broad yet detailed up-to-date picture of the entire field. Additionally, the extensive bibliography serves as a highly useful reference source."--BOOK JACKET |
