The effect of mannan oligosaccharide supplementation on body weight gain and fat accrual in C57Bl/6J miceDaniel L Smith
Department of Nutrition Sciences, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL, USA
Obesity (Silver Spring) 18:995-9. 2010..247 g; P = 0.57). Contrary to previous research, MOS supplementation had no discernable effect on body weight gain or composition during this 12-week study, challenging the potential use of MOS as a CRM or body composition enhancer...
Calorie restriction: what recent results suggest for the future of ageing researchDaniel L Smith
Department of Nutrition Sciences, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL 35294, USA
Eur J Clin Invest 40:440-50. 2010..Thus, the search for substances that can reproduce the beneficial physiologic responses of CR without a requisite calorie intake reduction, termed CR mimetics (CRMs), has gained momentum...

Conjectures on some curious connections among social status, calorie restriction, hunger, fatness, and longevityKathryn A Kaiser
Office of Energetics, School of Public Health, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama 35294, USA
Ann N Y Acad Sci 1264:1-12. 2012..Second, we examine models of the interactions between caloric restriction, body composition, and longevity. Finally, we put forth a relational model of the influences of differing environmental cues on body composition and longevity...
