Table 3. Effects of dietary restriction on mitochondrial ROS production in various tissues.

ROS production is commonly measured in liver, heart, skeletal muscle, brain and kidney. Distribution of effects between tissues is statistically significant (Chi-squared, p<0.01).

Tissue % Decrease % No change % Increase
Brain (n=15) 60 40
Heart (n=30) 50 50
Kidney (n=7) 57 43
Liver (n=81) 23 75 1
Sk. muscle (n=24) 46 54
