Journal ArticleDOI

Ageing, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial uncoupling

TL;DR: Emphasis is placed upon the roles of mitochondrial proton leak, the uncoupling proteins, and the anti-ageing effects of caloric restriction in the effects of oxidative stress and ageing on mitochondrial function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term caloric restriction increases UCP3 content but decreases proton leak and reactive oxygen species production in rat skeletal muscle mitochondria.

TL;DR: Mitochondrial H2O2 production and oxidative damage were decreased by CR at both time points and increased with age, and Muscle UCP3 protein content increased with long-term CR, consistent with a role in protection from ROS but inconsistent with the observed decrease or no change in proton leak.
Journal ArticleDOI

Caloric restriction increases gluconeogenic and transaminase enzyme activities in mouse liver.

TL;DR: Investigation of the activities of gluconeogenic and transaminase enzymes in the livers of old and young mice fed either control or calorie-restricted diets demonstrates increased gluc oneogenic activity in CR mice, consistent with a state of increased hepatic gluconeogenesis and protein turnover during CR.
