Genetic dissection of dietary restriction in mice supports the metabolic efficiency model of life extensionBrad A Rikke
Institute for Behavioral Genetics, University of Colorado at Boulder, Boulder, CO 80309, USA
Exp Gerontol 45:691-701. 2010..We present a metabolic model in which the anti-aging effects of DR are consistent with the ability to efficiently utilize dietary resources...
Physiological genetics of dietary restriction: uncoupling the body temperature and body weight responsesBrad A Rikke
Institute for Behavioral Genetics, Campus Box 447, Univ of Colorado, Boulder, CO 80309 0447, USA
Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 293:R1522-7. 2007..These results also suggest that murine genetic variation may be useful for uncoupling many more responses to DR...
Murine weight loss exhibits significant genetic variation during dietary restrictionBrad A Rikke
Institute for Behavioral Genetics, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado 80309 0447, USA
Physiol Genomics 27:122-30. 2006..The genetic variation also implies the existence of genes that would be novel therapeutic targets, distinct from genes affecting AL body weight or body fat, for enhancing (or mitigating) weight loss during food restriction...
Lower body temperature as a potential mechanism of life extension in homeothermsBrad A Rikke
Institute for Behavioral Genetics, University of Colorado at Boulder, Campus Box 447, Boulder, CO 80309 0447, USA
Exp Gerontol 39:927-30. 2004..These discoveries suggest that we can now extend the studies of Dr Walford to critically test whether lower body temperature can prolong the life span of mammals...
Quantitative trait Loci specifying the response of body temperature to dietary restrictionBrad A Rikke
Institute for Behavioral Genetics, University of Colorado at Boulder, USA
J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci 59:118-25. 2004..Importantly, the genes underlying such QTLs would be causal factors affecting these responses and could be identified by positional cloning...
Strain variation in the response of body temperature to dietary restrictionBrad A Rikke
Institute for Behavioral Genetics, Campus Box 447, University of Colorado, Boulder 80309 0447, USA
Mech Ageing Dev 124:663-78. 2003..The variation in strain mean T(b) was also present in the absence of torpor. This strain variation could be used to critically test whether lower T(b) is a covariate of life extension during DR...
No effect of albinism on sedative-hypnotic sensitivity to ethanol and anestheticsB A Rikke
Institute for Behavioral Genetics, University of Colorado, Boulder 80309 0447, USA
Alcohol Clin Exp Res 25:171-6. 2001..In addition, albinism is associated with altered brain development that could have pleiotropic effects on behavior. Therefore, in this study, we asked whether albinism affects sedative-hypnotic sensitivity...
Paralogy and orthology of tyrosine kinases that can extend the life span of Caenorhabditis elegansB A Rikke
Institute for Behavioral Genetics, University of Colorado, Boulder 80309 0447, USA
Mol Biol Evol 17:671-83. 2000....
Murine albino-deletion complex: high-resolution microsatellite map and genetically anchored YAC framework mapB A Rikke
Institute for Behavioral Genetics, University of Colorado, Boulder 80309 0447, USA
Genetics 147:787-99. 1997....
Early life predictors of old-age life expectancyBrad A Rikke
Institute for Behavioral Genetics, University of Colorado at Boulder, Boulder, CO 80309, USA
Sci Aging Knowledge Environ 2004:pe21. 2004..Each measure appears to be an index of largely separate parameters that affect the course of aging. This article summarizes the results, discusses implications, mentions caveats, and suggests future studies...
Thermoregulation in mice exhibits genetic variability early in senescencePatrick Gonzales
Institute for Behavioral Genetics, University of Colorado, Boulder, CO 80309 0447, USA
Age (Dordr) 32:31-7. 2010..004). Such variation is potentially a powerful tool for determining the cause of thermoregulatory loss with age and whether this loss predicts senescence changes later in life, including the force of mortality...
Genetic structure of the LXS panel of recombinant inbred mouse strains: a powerful resource for complex trait analysisRobert W Williams
Portland Alcohol Research Center, Oregon Health Sciences University, 97239, USA
Mamm Genome 15:637-47. 2004..Thus, the LXS panel provides a powerful new resource for mapping complex traits across many systems and disciplines and should prove to be of great utility in modeling the genetics of complex diseases in human populations...
A microarray analysis of potential genes underlying the neurosensitivity of mice to propofolDamon A Lowes
Academic Unit of Anesthesia and Intensive Care, Institute of Medical Sciences, Foresterhill, Aberdeen AB25 2ZD, Scotland, UK
Anesth Analg 101:697-704, table of contents. 2005....
