Perinatal Food Deprivation Modifies the Caloric Restriction Response in Adult Mice Through Sirt1

Variations in the availability of nutritional resources in animals can trigger reversible adjustments, which in the short term are manifested as behavioral and physiological changes. Several of these responses are mediated by Sirt1, which acts as an energy status sensor governing a global genetic pr...
