"Glucose Hysteresis as a Mechanism in Dietary Restriction, Aging and
Disease"
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2755292/
Teasers:
"According to this mechanism, dietary restriction increases life span
and reduces pathology by reducing exposure to glucose and therefore
delaying the development of glucose-induced glycolytic capacity."
...
"Dietary restriction in most tissues produces a metabolic profile
indicating a striking shift away from glycolysis and toward lipid
metabolism, whereas aging produces the opposite profile relative to the
young ad libitum profile"
Note that this is presented as a theory, not as tested fact, and I make
no claims beyond that...but I would like to hear from people with more
CR/ADF knowledge and experience.
