SEVERE CALORIE RESTRICTION REDUCES CARDIOMETABOLIC RISK FACTORS AND PROTECTS RAT HEARTS FROM ISCHEMIA/REPERFUSION INJURY

Background and Aims: Recent studies have proposed that if a severe caloric restriction (SCR) is initiated at the earliest period of postnatal life, it can lead to beneficial cardiac adaptations later on. We investigated the effects of SCR in Wistar rats from birth to adult age on risk factors for ca...
