Carbohydrate restriction with calorie restriction has been shown to slow tumor growth in xenograft mouse prostate cancer models

Carbohydrate restriction with calorie restriction has been shown to slow tumor growth in xenograft mouse prostate cancer models. This study examines the impact of carbohydrate restriction without calorie restriction on tumor development within the context of diet-induced obesity in mouse prostate cancer models.
