Background: Young children undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) require sedation. In June 2013, Tokyo Metropolitan Ohtsuka Hospital (TMOH) introduced an oral sedation protocol for young children undergoing MRI; the protocol included instructions on fasting before sedation, and recommended a shorter...
Fasting is known to influence learning and memory in mice and alter the neural networks that subserve these cognitive functions. We used high-resolution functional MRI to study the impact of fasting on resting-state functional connectivity in mice follow
There is growing concern that some chronic diseases might already be progressing, at a subclinical stage, long before a clinical diagnosis is made [16]. Even after controlling for other risk factors, recent studies suggest that, as fasting glucose levels increase, even while remaining within the ...
Trial NCT02158897 (published before): one-hundred participants (generally healthy adult volunteers and 18 to 70 years of age; BMI, 18.5 and up) without a diagnosed medical condition in the previous 6 months were enrolled. Flow of participant enrollment and participation was prepared following the...
All subjects gave informed consent before the start of the study. The scheme of study design is shown in Supplemental Fig. S2A. In total, 202 premenopausal Caucasian women (sex assigned at birth) were evaluated for compliance with inclusion and exclusion criteria (using an initial questionnaire ...

One study assessed muscle protein turnover before and after 14 days of alternate day fasting in normal weight healthy men [17]. This study reported lowered mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) phosphorylation in muscle which was thought to reflect decreased muscle protein synthesi...
Dr Murphy says about 10 percent of people with pre-diabetes develop Type2 diabetes each year and are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease and death even before the development of diabetes. The estimated prevalence of pre-diabetes in New Zealand is 25 percent and for diabetes it is seven...
A similar protocol for torpor induction was observed here; after one week of adaptation to standard laboratory conditions, mice were moved to a different room, with the same ambient conditions as before, apart from the Ta (28 ± 1 °C) and the 12:12 LD cycle with lights on at 3...
e, ZR-75-1 cells were seeded in 6-well plates and cultured with or without STS, FULV, or their combinations for 24 h before being cultured in regular medium for an additional 14 d. Finally, cells were fixed and stained with sulforhodamine B and cell colonies were counted. f, g, MCF...
