OBJECTIVE. Most diagnostic imaging centers ask patients to fast for 4-6 hours before contrast-enhanced CT. Previous studies have shown that prolonged fasting can be harmful. In addition, manufacturers of contrast agents claim that there is no special preparation needed before examination. The aim ...
In addition, long waiting times before the actual scan and dietary restrictions can be problematic for patients, especially the elderly. Currently, in contrast with FDG (fluordeoxyglucose) PET where fasting is essential in clinical routine, patients are not required to fast prior to PSMA-ligand ...
This study aims to conduct an unbiased assessment of the synergistic effects of non-pharmacological Interventions of intermittent fasting and pulsed radiofrequency energy (PRFE) combination therapy on the facilitation of diabetic wound healing, while als
IF increases the abundance of crown-like structures in AT To study AT plasticity in response to fasting cues, we induced obesity in mice by feeding them a 60% high-fat diet (HFD) for 12 weeks before challenging them with a 4:3 cyclic IF regimen (consisting of 3 fasting days and 4 fee...
In contrast, induction of ACO-1 mRNA by fasting was dependent on the presence of PPARα. ME-1 mRNA remained unchanged after fasting but was induced after refeeding in a pattern very similar to RXRα mRNA expression. Hence, there are marked differences in the requirements for PPARα and the...
The mice were fasted for 6 h before the tests. The insulin (0.75 U kg−1, Sigma Aldrich, USA) was injected, and blood glucose was measured before (0 min) and after the injection (15, 30, 60, 120 min) using a OneTouch® SelectSimple™ glucometer (LifeScan Inc., China...
In humans and animal models, intermittent fasting (IF) interventions promote body weight loss, improve metabolic health, and are thought to lower cardiovascular disease risk. However, there is a paucity of reports on the relevance of such nutritional int
The present study verified the responses of proteins related to the autophagy pathway after 10 h of fast with resistance exercise and protein ingestion in skeletal muscle and liver samples. The rats were distributed into five experimental groups: control (CT; sedentary and without gavage after fast...
