Subject: Desired new experiments

[Guest guest]

The experiment that I would like is simpler than what Rodney

wishes. I would like take a batch of these 40%CR mice which are half

the size of mice fed ad libitum, and fed them normally. I would like

to know how much the small mice CAN really eat ad libitum. This would

give us an idea of their ACTUAL percent of caloric restriction

relative to their size. I am betting it is only around 15% because

the small mice will not be able to eat as much as the big mice.
