Abdominal obesity increases the risk of developing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease as well as cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We previously reported that participants in the FMD study displayed reduced weight and BMI, in part due to a reduction in total body fat and truncal fat measured ...
MRI images used for analysis of truncal fat depots, related to Table 1 and Supplemental Table 1. Representative MRI scans with segmentation masks (green - subcutaneous adipose tissue, blue - muscle, red - visceral adipose tissue, yellow - bones and abdominal organs) used to evaluate subcutaneous...
12. IFG status may have lower average blood glucose level than IGT status, so its contribution to dementia could be minimal. However, the effect of long-term cumulative exposure to IFG on the risk of dementia has not been identified before. Prediabetes is regarded as a reversible state. It ...
Winfield JM, Papoutsaki MV, Ragheb H, Morris DM, Heerschap A, Ter Voert EG, QuIC-ConCePT Consortium, et al. Development of a diffusion-weighted MRI protocol for multi-centre abdominal imaging and evaluation of the effects of fasting on measurement of apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) in...
This disturbance of circadian rhythms may lead to the reported accumulation of abdominal and hepatic fat and adverse metabolic effects [55]. The adverse effects of fasting and ER seen in these rodent studies are important to consider, but may not be an issue for humans. In ...
9 Fasting or FMD prevents tamoxifen-induced endometrial hyperplasia and reduces intra-abdominal fat. a–d, Six–eight-week-old female BALB/c mice were treated for 5 weeks with ad libitum diet (n = 11), tamoxifen (TMX; n = 11), weekly 48-h water-only fasting (n = 11) or FMD (n ...
(16 h, largely during light cycle) then allowing ad libitum access to food for 4 h before refasting and monitoring blood glucose for the following 6 h. PhenoMaster (TSE systems, Bad Homburg, Germany) open-circuit calorimetry system was used to measure oxygen consumption and ambulatory ...
In this study, measures of abdominal and thigh muscle were derived from single-slice CT scans and reported as areas, while total body fat, percentage FM, and total LBM were measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) [16]. According to our study, the authors assumed that a low...
