Hypothesis
A low dose of dietary resveratrol can mimic the effects of caloric restriction and slow down aging in mice.
Conclusion
The study found that dietary resveratrol partially mimics caloric restriction and helps to slow aging parameters in mice.
Takeaway
Giving mice a little bit of resveratrol, a compound found in grapes, can help them age more slowly, similar to how eating less food can help them live longer.
