I'm a bit lost. In a different study [0](also playing with food restrictions) there is mention of torpor, a mechanism that these lemurs have that kicks in under calorie restriction and changes their metabolism and body composition.
Yet from the article
> but the effects in humans and other primates remain controversial
If these lemurs have specific energy mechanisms proper to their species and adapted to their ecosystem, does any conclusion extend to humans and other species ?
