However, its effect on rat explorative behaviour is still unclear. In the present study, a number of behavioural measures were continuously monitored in 3-, 12-, 24-25-, 28-29- and 35-44-month-old male <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Laboratory_rat#Wistar_rat\">Wistar rats<\/a> that were fed either <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ad_libitum\">ad libitum<\/a> or placed on a caloric restricted diet. A gradual decline in <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Animal_locomotion\">locomotor activity<\/a> of the ad libitum fed rats has been determined during aging in the open field test. In the CR groups, 3-month-old rats exhibited lower levels of exploratory behavior, compared to rats on the control diet. 24-25-month-old CR rats exhibited higher levels of exploratory behaviour, compared to ad libitum fed animals of the same age. Chronic dietary restriction nullified the age-dependent decline in locomotor activity and explorative behaviour of rats.\"<\/p>\n<p><span>Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/22590739\">http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/22590739<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Source:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.longevitymeme.org\/newsletter\/latest_rss_feed.cfm\">http:\/\/www.longevitymeme.org\/newsletter\/latest_rss_feed.cfm<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No great surprise here, given that calorie restriction in mammals slows almost all measures of aging investigated to date: \"Long-term caloric restriction (CR) has been reported to extend the life spans, delay the onset and decrease the incidence of a &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/longevity-medicine\/old-calorie-restricted-rats-act-younger-than-their-peers.php\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":64,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"limit_modified_date":"","last_modified_date":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1246678],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1043298","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-longevity-medicine"],"modified_by":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1043298"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/64"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1043298"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1043298\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1043298"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1043298"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1043298"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
