What did studies of Gradual calorie restriction find?
3Studies of Gradual calorie restriction measured 3 outcomes; the most studied are glucose (1 study), corticosterone (1) and anxiety-like behavior (1).

Gradual calorie restriction decreases glucose in mice.
“however, the GCR group showed a significant reduction (p < 0.01).”

Corticosterone

Gradual calorie restriction decreases corticosterone in mice.
“The mice on GCR regimen demonstrated lesser anxiety-like behavior and low plasma corticosterone levels compared to those on ACR.”
