Effects of CR on IGF-1 and IGF-1R mRNA expression and growth of the CT-2A astrocytoma. For conditions a and b, tumors were implanted into the brains of C57BL/6J mice. At 10 days post tumor implantation, mice were randomly switched to either an unrestricted (UR; n=9) or CR (n=9) diet that aimed at reducing body weight by ~30%. In condition c, tumors were implanted subcutaneously and CR started at day 14; the Kaplan–Meier survival curve indicates significantly longer survival for CR compared with UR (P=0.01).
