Figure 2From: Positive effects of prolonged caloric restriction on the population of very small embryonic-like stem cells – hematopoietic and ovarian implicationsThe number of clonogenic BFU-E and CFU-GM in hematopoietic tissues of 10-month-old female (panel A) and male (panel B) C57B1/6 mice on CR or fed AL. Mononuclear cells from bone marrow (A), peripheral blood (B), or spleen (C) from mice (6 animals/group) were plated in vitro in methylcellulose cultures to evaluate the number of clonogenicerythroid BFU-E and myeloid CFU-GM progenitors. The number of colonies grown from mice fed AL is shown as 100%.Back to article page
