Calorie restriction lowered early virus levels in macaques

An experiment using four months of 30% calorie restriction found less gut immune activation in rhesus macaques after infection and antiviral drug therapy.An experiment using four months of 30% calorie restriction found less gut immune activation in rhesus macaques after infection and antiviral drug therapy.
