Onset of puberty and duration of fertility in rats fed a restricted diet
Abstract
Summary. Chronic dietary restriction such that the body weight of CFY Sprague– Dawley female rats was 50% that of animals fed ad libitum resulted in enhanced longevity (LD50 of 1090 days compared to 704 days). All the experimental females had reached puberty by 227 days and 80% were able to conceive and wean young at 510 days, an age beyond that at which the control rats had ceased to breed (450 days). Some (25%) of the experimental rats were able to breed at over 800 days of age.

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.
