## Abstract Caloric restriction (CR) prolongs lifespan in insects, rodents, and nonhuman primates, a process attributed to a reduction in oxidative stress. Transgenic mice that overexpress the mutant human Cu/Zn‐superoxide dismutase (__SOD1__) gene (G93A mice) are an animal model of amyotrophic lat
