Age- and calorie-independent life span extension from dietary restriction by bacterial deprivation in Caenorhabditis elegans

BACKGROUND: Dietary restriction (DR) increases life span and delays age-associated disease in many organisms. The mechanism by which DR enhances longevity is not well understood. RESULTS: Using bacterial food deprivation as a means of DR in C. elegans, we show that transient DR confers long-term ben...
