  • Effects of Germfree Status and Food Restriction on Longevity and Growth of Mice

説明

An investigation was undertaken to study the effects of germfree (GF) status and mild food restriction on life span in GF and specific pathogen-free (SPF) male ICR mice either full-fed (ad libitum) or on a restricted diet of 4.5 grams per day (equivalent to approximately 80% of full-fed intake) from five-week-old. The mean life span of the full-fed SPF and GF mice was 75.9 and 88.9 weeks respectively, whie the mean life span of the food-restricted SPF and GF mice was 117.5 and 109.6 weeks, respectively. Mice in both GF and SPF food-restricted groups were characterized by lower body weight and increased survival. These findings suggest that the cessation of growth may be importantly and perhaps causally related to longevity. The GF mice survived longer than the SPF mice, but the combination of GF status with food restriction did not seem to extend life span more than food restriction alone.
