Most people would not object to living a few years longer than
normal, as long as it meant they could live those years in good health. Sadly,
the only proven way to extend the lifespan of an animal in this way is to reduce
its calorie intake. Studies going back to the 1930s have shown that a
considerable reduction in consumption (about 50%) can extend the lifespan of
everything from dogs to nematode worms by between 30% and 70%. Although humans
are neither dogs nor worms, a few people are willing to give the
calorie-restricted diet a try in the hope that it might work for them, too. But
not many—as the old joke has it, give up the things you enjoy and you may not
live longer, but it will sure seem as if you did. Now, though,
work done by Marc Hellerstein and his colleagues at the University of
California, Berkeley, suggests that it may be possible to have, as it were, your
cake and eat it too. Or, at least, to eat 95% of it. Their study, to be
published in the American Journal of Physiology—Endocrinology and Metabolism,
suggests that significant gains in longevity might be made by a mere 5%
reduction in calorie intake. The study was done on mice rather than people. But
the ubiquity of previous calorie-restriction results suggests the same outcome
might well occur in other species, possibly including humans. However, you would
have to fast on alternate days. (41)__________
Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of cells. For a cancer to develop
efficiently, it needs multiple mutations to accumulate in the DNA of the cell
that becomes the tumor's ancestor. (42)__________
A slower rate of cell division thus results in a slower accumulation of
cancer-causing mutations. (43)__________ Heavy
water is heavy because the hydrogen in it weighs twice as much as ordinary
hydrogen(it has a proton and a neutron in its nucleus, instead of just a
proton). Chemically, however, it behaves like its lighter relative. This means,
among other things, that it gets incorporated into DNA as that molecule doubles
in quantity during cell division. (44)__________
Dr Hellerstein first established how much mice eat if allowed to feed as
much as they want. Then he set up a group of mice that were allowed to eat only
95% of that amount. In both cases, he used the heavy-water method to monitor
cell division. The upshot was that the rate of division in the
calorie-restricted mice was 37% lower than that in those mice that could eat as
much as they wanted—which could have a significant effect on the accumulation of
cancer-causing mutations. (45)__________ [A] To
stop this happening, cells have DNA-repair mechanisms. But if a cell divides
before the damage is repaired, the chance of a successful repair is
significantly reduced. [B] Bingeing and starving is how many
animals tend to feed in the wild. The uncertain food supply means they regularly
go through cycles of too much and too little food (it also means that they are
often restricted to eating less than they could manage if food were
omnipresent). [C] But calorie-reduction is not all the mice had
to endure. They were, in addition, fed only on alternate days: bingeing one day
and starving the next. So, whether modern man and woman, constantly surrounded
by food and advertisements for food, would really be able to forgo eating every
other day is debatable. [D] Why caloric restriction extends the
lifespan of any animal is unclear, but much of the smart money backs the idea
that it slows down cell division by denying cells the resources they need to
grow and proliferate. One consequence of that slow-down would be to hamper the
development of cancerous tumors. [E] So, by putting heavy water
in the diets of their mice, the researchers were able to measure how much DNA in
the tissues of those animals had been made since the start of the experiment
(and by inference how much cell division had taken place), by the simple
expedient of extracting the DNA and weighing it. [F] The second
reason, according to Elaine Hsieh, one of Dr Hellerstein's colleagues, is that
cutting just a few calories overall, but feeding intermittently, may be a more
feasible eating pattern for some people to maintain than making small reductions
each and every day. [G] At least, that is the theory. Until now,
though, no one has tested whether reduced calorie intake actually does result in
slower cell division. Dr Hellerstein and his team were able to do so using heavy
water as a chemical "marker" of the process.
