” We reviewed and discussed underlying mechanisms of CR from an aspect of CR genes. It should be stressed that the isoform specificity of FoxO transcription factors for longevity becomes apparent under CR conditions but not AL conditions. Npy and FoxO1 both play pleiotropic roles in aging and related disorders, depending on the nutritional state. As briefly described in Section 1 and Section 2, the life-extending effects of CR and reduced IGF-1 signaling are also sexually dimorphic. Genes associated with regulation of the aging process should be investigated carefully in a context-dependent manner, i.e., abilities of physiological adaptation for individuals against environmental challenges, particularly food shortage. “
