title: Diet restriction decreases the membrane microviscosity of cerebellar membranes of old female Wistar rats.
abstract: The microviscosity of cerebellar membranes from female Wistar rats during aging and subsequent to diet restriction has been investigated. Diet restriction was applied feeding the animals on every-other-day schedule starting from the age of 3.5 months. Undernutrition increased the lifespan of the animals and retarded the appearance of the age-dependent increase of microviscosity of cerebellar membranes.
