Researchers at Penn State found that caloric restriction affects telomere loss rates in humans.
Researchers at Penn State discovered that caloric restriction affects the rate at which telomeres, protective caps at the end of chromosomes, are lost in humans. The study, published in Aging Cell, found that even though both groups ended with similar telomere lengths, those who restricted their calories experienced different rates of telomere loss. This highlights the complexity of how diet impacts aging.
