PG - 556-61 AB - Caloric restriction (CR) is the only established intervention that extends life span in mammals, insects and nematodes. One of the hypotheses suggested that most of the effects of CR on aging may be due to reduced oxidative stress at the cellular level. It was known that ayu (Plecoglossus altivelis) produced ROS higher than other fish and that the life span of ayu is only one year. The present study attempts to quantify age-associated changes of the degree of attenuation on oxidative damage and hormonal homeostases in CR. The levels of 8-OHdG as the oxidative DNA damage level and the caspase-9/6, -3-like activities as the induction factors of apoptosis with aging in brain and liver were surveyed. Caspase-like activities in brain and liver were reduced by CR, while CR had no influence on DNA damage level. However, life span of ayu was not prolonged by CR. These results suggested that there would be factors determining life span of ayu other than CR and apoptosis.
