Calorie restriction is well known to slow aging in mammals. Short-term improvements in metabolism are fairly similar across mammalian species, but short-lived mammals show a much greater extension of life span in response to calorie restriction than is the case in long-lived mammals such as our own species. Why this is the case remains to be determined, but one might suspect that the answer lies somewhere in the still incompletely cataloged details of autophagy – how exactly autophagy changes with age, and how exactly autophagy differs between species. Researchers have demonstrated that the cellular maintenance processes of autophagy <a href="https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2019/12/the-benefits-of-calorie-restriction-most-likel…
