Cr mimetic

Caloric restriction mimetics try to mimic the substantial anti-aging effects caloric restriction has on many laboratory animals.

Candidate compounds include:
 * Resveratrol is found in red wine and grapes. Many supplement companies market inexpensive concentrates.
 * metformin mimics the gene expression of CR mice, and has extended mice's maximum life spans. It is already clinically approved to treat diabetes.
 * Lipoic Acid (α-Lipoic Acid, Alpha Lipoic Acid, or ALA)
 * 2-deoxy-D-glucose, or 2-DG. 2-DG interferes in glycolysis, starving a cell of fuel.
 * Iodoacetate
