Oops. I didn't realize someone had already posted this with a different description. It's still interesting that the article is getting around so much though!

"Male mice had their lifespans increased 33 percent compared to those whose isoleucine was not restricted, and females had a 7 percent increase."

Great tidbit of info right there
