NEW RESOURCES AVAILABLE FOR CONDUCTING RESEARCH ON AGING NIH GUIDE, Volume 23, Number 10, March 11, 1994 P.T. 34 Keywords: Aging/Gerontology Animal Breed. & Facil., Scientific National Institute on Aging The National Institute on Aging (NIA), recognizing that most investigators have neither the facilities nor the fiscal resources needed to develop and maintain colonies of aged animals, has made provision of resources one of its highest priorities. Currently available resources include a cell repository, a nematode bank, rodent colonies, and non human primate colonies. This notice announces the availability of two new NIA supported resources. Calorically-Restricted Rodent Resource Calorically-restricted rodents from six months to 30 months of age are available. These animals are individually caged and food intake is restricted. Mouse genotypes available are the inbred strains C57BL/6 and DBA/2 and the hybrid stock of B6D2F1 (C57BL/6 x DBA/2).

A colony of 45 middle-aged and older rhesus monkeys is under study longitudinally and specimens can be obtained for the examination of questions related to obesity, diabetes, and aging processes.
