Monkeys were randomized into study groups for a cross over design evaluating the acute effects of 3 different monkey diets: standard NIH chow, the NIA 1-87 diet, and the Wisconsin Harlan Teklad diet. The latter two diets are used at the respective sites for long-term studies of calorie restriction effects on function, morbidity, and mortality. For baseline and each 3-month timepoint, the following measures were collected: body weight, morphometric measures, body composition scan, pulse wave velocity for arterial stiffness, glucose tolerance test, biopsy of liver, fat and muscle, and banked serum and plasma samples. All data collection was completed this year and samples are currently being analyzed.

Publications
Publications are associated with projects, but cannot be identified with any particular year of the project or fiscal year of funding. This is due to the continuous and cumulative nature of knowledge generation across the life of a project and the sometimes long and variable publishing timeline. Similarly, for multi-component projects, publications are associated with the parent core project and not with individual sub-projects.
