Effect of feeding regimens on circadian rhythms: Implications for agingand longevity
Figure 6. A schematic model describing the effect of feeding regimens on longevity through peripheral and SCN clock resetting. CR and IF reset circadian rhythms in the periphery and the SCN. The synchronized, robust circadian rhythms could be the mediator though which these feeding regimens lead to aging attenuation and life span extension. RF resets circadian rhythms only in the periphery, but its effect on life span is not known.
