We pretty much had to euthanize the mice by the time they were 12 weeks...

...come you have so many cages of these mice breeding but don’t seem to have enough mice to do experiments?” Laurie Glimcher, a professor of immunology at the School of Public Health, recalled asking...

...some experts, such as Boston College's Thomas Seyfried, say it's still a remarkable achievement. Seyfried has long called for clinical trials of low-carb, high-fat diets against cancer, and has been trying to push research in the field with animal studies: His results suggest that mice survive cancers, including brain cancer, much longer when put on high-fat diets, even longer when the diets are also calorie-restricted. "Clinical studies are highly warranted," he says, attributing the lack of human studies to the medical establishment, which he feels is single-minded in its approach to treatment...
