Extending healthy life span—from yeast to humans
L Fontana, L Partridge, VD Longo - science, 2010 - science.org
When the food intake of organisms such as yeast and rodents is reduced (dietary restriction),
they live longer than organisms fed a normal diet. A similar effect is seen when the activity …
