Following axotomy, the regrowth of peripheral axons takes longer in older individuals than in young ones.

## Abstract The effects of lifeβlong food restriction on motoneuronal cell death with advancing age was studied in male Fischer rats, which had access to food only 3 days a week after weaning (FR rats). Motoneurons innervating the medial gastrocnemius muscle were labeled with retrogradely transport
A group of 15 rats received two intravenous bolus doses of antipyrine (15 mg/kg) separated by a 57 hour infusion (with bolus dose) of phenobarbital. Phenobarbital bolus doses and infusion rates were based on a preliminary pharmacokinetic study (7 rats) and were varied to achieve a broad range of ste
