项目摘要

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Dietary caloric restriction (CR) is the only intervention to reliably extend the lifespan of a variety of species, including worms, flies, fishes and rodents. Whether CR can also extend the human lifespan remains unknown. The National Institutes of Aging's Caloric Restriction Study maintains long-term colonies of nonhuman primates that are evaluated for many health parameters and markers of aging and provide the best available nonhuman primate model to address this question. As part of this unique resource, groups of rhesus monkeys, including young and old groups on 30% calorically restricted or ad libitum diets, were maintained at ONPRC for 4.5 years, and large groups are being followed throughout their lifespan at NIA. Because of its accessibility to noninvasive monitoring, the eye is an ideal organ to evaluate longitudinally whether CR can retard the occurrence of aging and age-related disease, and therefore we are conducting in-depth studies of ocular aging in these monkeys. The two major goals of our project are: 1) to determine whether CR retards the development of aging and age-related ocular diseases including macular degeneration, cataract, glaucoma and optic nerve atrophy; and 2) to correlate clinical observations with histopathological studies, using markers of age-related degeneration and oxidative stress. This research can provide new insights into the causes and possible treatment of human age-related ocular disorders. In the past year we continued evaluation of monkeys in the NIA CR colony, and completed morphological studies that contribute to understanding the cellular processes involved in age-related retinal disease.

该副本是利用众多研究子项目之一由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子弹和调查员（PI）可能已经从其他NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他清晰的条目中代表。列出的机构是对于中心，这不一定是调查员的机构。饮食热量限制（CR）是可靠地延长各种物种的寿命，包括蠕虫，苍蝇，鱼类和啮齿动物的唯一干预措施。 CR是否也可以延长人类的寿命仍然未知。美国国家衰老的热量限制性研究维护了非人类灵长类动物的长期菌落，这些殖民地对许多健康参数和衰老的标记进行了评估，并提供了最佳可用的非人类灵长类动物模型来解决这个问题。作为这一独特资源的一部分，ONPRC维持了4。5年，包括30％的热量限制或随意饮食的恒河猴，包括30％的年轻人和老年群体，以及在NIA的整个生命周期中，都在遵循大型团体。由于其对非侵入性监测的可及性，眼睛是纵向评估CR是否可以阻止衰老和与年龄相关的疾病的理想器官，因此我们正在对这些猴子中的眼部衰老进行深入研究。我们项目的两个主要目标是：1）确定CR是否会延迟衰老和与年龄相关的眼部疾病的发展，包括黄斑变性，白内障，青光眼和视神经萎缩； 2）使用与年龄相关的变性和氧化应激的标记，将临床观察结果与组织病理学研究相关联。这项研究可以为与人类年龄相关的眼部疾病的原因和可能治疗的新见解提供新的见解。在过去的一年中，我们继续评估NIA CR菌落中的猴子，并完成了形态学研究，有助于理解与年龄相关的视网膜疾病所涉及的细胞过程。
