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 ...
Abdominal MRI and blood analysis were performed twice one week before and after Ramadan. In addition, liver fat fractions and volumes were calculated based on the MRI. Data were statistically analyzed and compared. Results: The mean age of the subjects was 44.5 years (age range: 19-68 years)...
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 ...
Visceral fat in the abdominal cavity can be assessed by many methods, such as bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), ultrasound, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), computed tomography scan (CT scan), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). BIA is a noninvasive method to assess the visceral...

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 c...
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 healthy liver. Br J Radiol 2015;19:20140717 [Epub ahead of print]....
METHODS :After measuring morning fasting blood glucose, DWI and BOLD MRI were performed in 57 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM group) and 14 healthy volunteers (NC group). According to the fasting blood glucose levels, diabetic patients were divided into a normoglycemic diabetes group...
(ITT; Fig.2h) were performed. A lower glucose infusion rate was required to maintain blood glucose levels of PerIRKO+/−(Fig.2d) during clamp, indicating these mice had impaired insulin sensitivity. This appeared to be the result of a reduced ability for PerIRKO+/−to suppress ...
