Eggs up
In a research, Calorie-restricted mice also produced more eggs than normal mice when their ovaries were artificially stimulated, and their eggs were more likely to develop into embryos upon fertilization.
The reported data showed that adult-onset caloric restriction prevents the age-related decline in oocyte [egg precursor cell] quality and quantity, this result was presenting at a meeting organized by the SENS (Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence) Foundation in Cambridge, UK., The team announced that restricting the calorie intake of adult mice extended the mice’s reproductive lifespan and increased the chances of their offspring surviving after birth.
