Cardioprotection by intermittent fasting in rats.
BACKGROUND Intermittent fasting (IF), a dietary regimen in which food is available only every other day, increases the life span and reduces the incidence of age-associated diseases in rodents. We have reported neuroprotective effects of IF against ischemic injury of the brain. In this study, we examined the effects of IF on ischemic injury of the heart in rats. METHODS AND RESULTS After 3 mo...
متن کاملAssessment of enhanced endothelium-dependent vasodilation by intermittent fasting in Wistar albino rats.
Intermittent fasting (IF), a type of feeding regimen where the frequency of eating is reduced enhances cardiovascular stress adaptation and improves cardiovascular risk factors in rats. Data on the effect of IF on the endothelium is not common, so we examined whether IF showed similarity to documented beneficial effects of caloric restriction on endothelium-dependent vasodilatory responses of r...
متن کاملApparent prolongation of the life span of rats by intermittent fasting.
When a sufficient amount of choice food is available, labora tory rats, like many humans, eat enough to become more or less obese. As a consequence, the life span of rats feeding ad libitum, like the life span of their human counterparts, is presumably shortened. This inference is supported by the repeated findings of McCay and his associates (†̃42 a, b; †̃43) that the life span of rats can b...
متن کاملHealth Benefits of Islamic Intermittent Fasting
Background & Objective: Islamic fasting is observed by millions of Muslims across the world during the holy month of Ramadan and other specific days of the lunar year. Fasting Muslims abstain from eating and drinking from dawn until sunset. Depending on season and geographical location, Muslims maintain fasting for approximately 13-18 hours per day. The present study aimed to review the be...
متن کاملΩ3 Supplementation and Intermittent Hypobaric Hypoxia Induce Cardioprotection Enhancing Antioxidant Mechanisms in Adult Rats
Intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (IH) is linked with oxidative stress, impairing cardiac function. However, early IH also activate cardio-protective mechanisms. Omega 3 fatty acids (Ω3) induce cardioprotection by reducing infarct size and reinforcing antioxidant defenses. The aim of this work was to determine the combined effects of IH and Ω3 on cardiac function; oxidative balance and inflammator...
