From early studies in the 1950s investigating the health benefits of macronutrients to current research showing that caloric restriction increases lifespan, scientists and lay people alike remain fascinated by the relationship between diet and longevity (Keys et al, 1957; McCay et al, 1989)
These metabolites have the capacity to interconvert between different energy substrates (Figure 1). The precursors of these amino acids increased in the choice diet
Summary
Related research article Lyu Y, Weaver KJ, Shaukat HA, Plumoff ML, Tjilos M, Promislow DE, Pletcher SD. 2021. From early studies in the 1950s investigating the health benefits of macronutrients (that is, the relative ratios of carbohydrates, proteins and fats) to current research showing that caloric restriction increases lifespan, scientists and lay people alike remain fascinated by the relationship between diet and longevity (Keys et al, 1957; McCay et al, 1989). The typical way of addressing such questions in a laboratory setting would be to compare groups given diets with different macronutrient compositions and measure their lifespans.
