Figure 1.
Body weight development of male C57BL6 mice fed ad libitum (AL; black line) or dietarily restricted (DR; grey line). After reducing the dietary intake successively (5% per week), the DR mice were fed 75% of the AL mice feed intake for six months. Following DR, mice were re-fed by granting ad libitum access to diet for additional six months (starting at week 29). Data are shown as means (n = 7 for AL; n = 10 for DR).
