ABSTRACTBackground: Diabetes mellitus is often associated with the occurrence of complications. Haemostatic factors, especially hyperfibrinogenaemia, a common cause complication. Goat kefir and vitamin D3 may act as an antioxidant anti-inflammation agent which can repair pancreatic beta cells.Objectives: This study aimed to analyse effect D3-fortified goat milk plasma fibrinogen levels in diabe...

Moderate exercise improves insulin sensitivity and reduces triacylglycerol (triglyceride; TG) concentrations. We hypothesized that changes in insulin sensitivity are an important determinant of exercise-induced changes in postprandial TG concentrations. Altogether, 38 men and 43 women, all of whom were normotriglyceridaemic and normoglycaemic, each underwent two oral fat tolerance tests with di...

Reduced cell proliferation is associated with lower cancer risk. Alternate-day fasting (ADF), defined as alternating 24-h periods of ad libitum feeding and fasting, decreases cell proliferation. The effect of modified regimens of ADF on cell proliferation, however, has not been examined. This study measured the effects of modified ADF regimens on prostate and splenic T-cell proliferation and ci...

introduction: fasting is an islamic practice, which causes various metabolic changes in fasting individuals. numerous studies have examined different aspects of fasting, but its effect on individuals with different characteristics such as obesity has remained unknown. the impact of fasting on adipose tissue hormones such as leptin and adiponectin is still controversial. in this study, we aimed ...

Introduction: Prediabetes, diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are highly prevalent diseases around the world. They cause numerous complications that result in significant morbidity mortality. Nutrition plays an important role reducing CVD risk. This study explores potential effects of fasting, fasting-mimicking diets, time-restricted eating on reduction risk factors provides initial data...

BACKGROUND Appetite and gastrointestinal hormones (GIHs) participate in energy homeostasis, feeding behavior and regulation of body weight. We demonstrated previously the superior effect of a hypocaloric diet regimen with lower meal frequency (B2) on body weight, hepatic fat content, insulin sensitivity and feelings of hunger compared to the same diet divided into six smaller meals a day (A6). ...

BACKGROUND Epidemiological investigation of insulin resistance is difficult. Standard measures of insulin resistance require invasive investigations, which are impractical for large-scale studies. Surrogate measures using fasting blood samples have been developed, but even these are difficult to obtain in population-based studies. Measures of insulin resistance have not been validated in non-fa...

OBJECTIVE To compare the metabolic effects of fructose in healthy male and female subjects. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Fasting metabolic profile and hepatic insulin sensitivity were assessed by means of a hyperglycemic clamp in 16 healthy young male and female subjects after a 6-day fructose overfeeding. RESULTS Fructose overfeeding increased fasting triglyceride concentrations by 71 vs. 1...

Dietary restriction has been shown to have several health benefits including increased insulin sensitivity, stress resistance, reduced morbidity, and increased life span. The mechanism remains unknown, but the need for a long-term reduction in caloric intake to achieve these benefits has been assumed. We report that when C57BL6 mice are maintained on an intermittent fasting (alternate-day fasti...
