Effect of Caloric Restriction on Endogeous Retrovirus Expression and Lymphoma Development in Aged Rodents (1992)

Title:

Effect of Caloric Restriction on Endogeous Retrovirus Expression and Lymphoma Development in Aged Rodents

Key words:

caloric restriction, endogeous retrovirus, lymphoma

Research Institution:

Hahnemann University

Location:

Pennsylvania

Researcher:

Kenneth J Blank

Project Description:

Dr. Blank investigated if caloric restriction may delay the expression of a retrovirus that is associated with lymphomas, and if the delay in viral expression also delays the development of lymphoma in mice. This was a collaborative study supported by AICR and the Food and Drug Administration�s National Center for Toxicological Research.
