Claims
- 1. A method of obtaining beneficial biological results associated with caloric restriction comprising administration of a composition containing at least one active agent which blocks metabolism of glucose as a source of energy in cells in glucose metabolism blocking effective amounts to an animal in need thereof.
- 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the composition contains, as an agent which blocks use of glucose as a source of energy, mannoheptulose.
- 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the composition contains, as an agent which blocks use of glucose as a source of energy, 5-thio-D-glucose.
- 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the composition contains, as an agent which blocks use of glucose as a source of energy, 3-O-methylglucose.
- 5. The method of claim 1 wherein the composition contains, as an agent which blocks use of glucose as a source of energy, an androsugar.
- 6. The method of claim 5 wherein the composition contains, as an agent which blocks use of glucose as a source of energy, 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol.
- 7. The method of claim 5 wherein the composition contains, as an agent which blocks use of glucose as a source of energy, 2,5-anhydro-D-mannitol.
- 8. The method of claim 1 wherein the composition contains, as an active agent which blocks use of glucose as a source of energy, mannoheptulose.
- 9. A method of lowering the temperature in body tissue by administration of a composition containing at least one active agent which blocks use of glucose as a source of energy in cells in body temperature lowering effective amounts.
- 10. The method of claim 9 wherein the composition contains, as an active agent which blocks use of glucose as a source of energy, 5-thio-D-glucose.
- 11. The method of claim 9 wherein the composition contains, as an active agent which blocks use of glucose as a source of energy, 3-O-methylglucose.
- 12. The method of claim 9 wherein the active agent which blocks use of glucose as a source of energy is an androsugar.
- 13. The method of claim 12 wherein the active agent which blocks use of glucose as a source of energy is 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol.
- 14. A method of claim 12 wherein the compound which blocks use of glucose as a source of energy is 2,5-anhydro-D-mannitol.
