This limits our ability to draw definitive conclusions about substrate fluxes. Nevertheless, our lipidomic data provided a valuable snapshot of lipolysis directly in AT, free from the biases common in physiological methods like blood flow changes, contributions from other tissues to FFA metabolism, ...
specific insulin-sensitising effect of this pattern of IER added to CER [30] Three studies assessed the effects of two to three weeks of IF (alternating 20–24 h periods of a total fast interspersed with 24–28 h periods of hyperphagia (175%–200% of estimated energy re...
It is therefore difficult to draw a straightforward conclusion on the overall effect of fasting on DNA repair. In addition to the expression of genes involved in cell proliferation, the expression of genes involved in apoptosis was suppressed. We modified the apoptosis map in the GenMAPP ...
