The History of the Growth Restrictions

Four reps were restricted in their food intake from weaning right through to the end of their life. They exhibited two things: First, they didn't develop properly and second, they lived a lot longer than they were supposed to. For a long time after that first paper, the belief was that it was something to do with the growth restriction that was causing the extension of the life. It's the calories rather than the protein and it's got nothing toDo with the growth.
