Ad Lib (Calorie Restriction)

Short for the latin term "ad libitum" meaning "at will". In the context of CR experiments, it refers to the diet of the control group. If taken literally it means the control group was given free and continuous access to food, and allowed to eat as much as they wanted. In more recent CR experiments, researchers have modified this strategy by feeding the control group a minorly restricted diet in order to prevent obesity. The CR group is usually fed some percentage of the calories eaten by the ad lib group.Short for the latin term "ad libitum" meaning "at will".
