Effect of time of restriction on the decrease in mitochondrial H2O2 production and oxidative DNA damage in the heart of food‐restricted rats

Abstract

In the present study, the question if medium-term (4 months) caloric restriction (40%) decreases mitochondrial H2O2 production and oxidative DNA damage was investigated. Caloric restriction (CR) is the only experimental manipulation that increases maximum life span. Previous long-term CR studies have showed that CR decreases the mitochondrial rate of free radical production in diverse tissues and species. Those studies agree with the idea that the superior longevity of the restricted animals can be partly due to their lower mitochondrial rate of free radical generation. However, caloric restriction effects strongly depend on implementation time. Previous studies have shown that the decrease induced by CR on oxygen radical generation and oxidative damage to mitochondrial DNA occurs after 1 year but not after 6 weeks of restriction. In the present investigation, mitochondrial H2O2 production did not change in medium-term (4 months) caloric restricted animals, and, in agreement with that, no differences were found in either mitochondrial or nuclear oxidative DNA damage between restricted and ad libitum-fed animals. These results confirm the importance of the time of CR implementation, and show that time longer than 4 months is needed to decrease the mitochondrial rate of free radical generation and the oxidative damage to mtDNA in the rat heart.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Caloric restriction decreases ROS production in rodents, particularly at Complex I, thereby preventing oxidative damage in mitochondria from heart, liver, skeletal muscle and brain.

    “Originally, it was shown that CR decreases ROS production in rodents, particularly at Complex I, thereby preventing oxidative damage in mitochondria from heart (Gredilla et al., 2002), liver (Lopez-Torres et al., 2002), skeletal muscle (Lass et al., 1998) and brain (Sanz et al., 2005).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
