Neurotransmitters and neurotrophic factors are signaling molecules that play a crucial role in cell proliferation, differentiation, survival and functions of neurons. It is believed that caloric restriction could help the health of the nervous system by affecting the synthesis of neurotrophins and neurotransmitter and oxygen radical metabolism. The objective was to investigate the plasma levels...

OBJECTIVE To compare the effect of acute psychosocial stress on glucose concentrations in the fasting state and following food intake in patients with type 1 diabetes.

Aim: Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) is the concentration of after an overnight (≤ 8 hours) fast. It diagnostic diabetes mellitus and prediabetes. used in screening other health conditions monitoring treatment diabetes. useful to determine factors that influence FPC for more accurate interpretation test. Procedure: One hundred fifty (150) apparently healthy subjects aged 1 – 80 years were recruite...

The nutritional status influences gastric growth, and interestingly, whereas cell proliferation is stimulated by fasting in suckling rats, it is inhibited in adult animals. Corticosterone takes part in the mechanisms that govern development, and its effects are regulated in particular by corticosterone-binding globulin (CBG) and glucocorticoid receptor (GR). To investigate whether corticosteron...

ramadan fasting is one of the most important religious duties of muslims, that its effect on the heart has not been determined yet. our objective was to evaluate the effect of ramadan fasting on ventricular repolarization as assessed by qt interval, corrected qt interval, qt dispersion or corrected qt dispersion. sixthy healthy subjects aged 20 to 35 years were dispersion included in this study...

The effect of Ramadan fasting on fasting serum glucose (FPG) is still a matter of controversy. One hundred and fifteen healthy volunteers fasted for > or = 25 days during Ramadan. Blood samples were taken 1 week before Ramadan and on the 14th and 28th day of Ramadan. Serum glucose was determined by the glucose oxidase method. FPG decreased from 88.4 + 9.0 mg/dl to 62.9 +/- 7.7 mg/dl (p < 0.001)...

background and objectives: given the limited number of studies on ramadan fasting and military performance, we conducted this study to identify the effect of ramadan fasting on physical fitness performances in army cadets. methods: twenty healthy males were randomly selected from a larger sample group. the subjects were divided into fasting (n=10) and non-fasting (n=10) groups. they performed v...
