Methionine restriction

upin mouse cells1

1 study
  1. Methionine restriction increases DICER1 in mouse cells.

    “sulfur amino acid restriction (i.e., methionine or cysteine) is sufficient to increase Dicer mRNA expression in preadipocytes.”

Caloric restriction

downin mice1

1 study
  1. Caloric restriction prevents DICER1 in mice.

    “This is prevented in both species by caloric restriction.”
