LIMITFOOD2 is a randomized clinical intervention study that investigates the effects of two different intermittent fasting protocols compared to a control group on the health of obese adults. A total of 90 participants will be randomized into three equally sized groups: a modified alternate day fasting, a time-restricted eating and a control group, receiving general weight-loss counseling.
Time-restricted eating (TRE) is a dietary approach that aims to increase fasting time and decrease the eating window. Promising TRE effects on weight loss and improvements in some cardiometabolic risk factors have been reported in studies in animals and humans. However, the impacts of TRE combined with aerobic exercise training in individuals with overweight and obesity have been insufficiently investigated. Additionally, aerobic training performed in a fasted state appears to promote physiological adaptations that may improve the metabolic health in individuals with overweight and obesity. The present study investigates the effects of 8 weeks of TRE associated with aerobic training in a fasted state versus a fed state on body composition and cardiometabolic parameters in women with overweight and grade 1 obesity.
In primary adrenal insufficiency, there is an increased risk of hypoglycaemia and dehydration. These risks have been little studied particularly during intermittent fasting. The present study aimed to assess these risks in a prospective study of 30 subjects with primary adrenal insufficiency. Patients will undergo a clinical examination, blood sampling and continuous glucose monitoring for fourteen days (one week of fasting and one week of non-fasting).
This study is a parallel randomized controlled trial (RCT). To determine the effect of intermittent fasting, intermittent fasting with behavioral economics, and intensive lifestyle modification on nutritional status; the differences between HOMA-IR, body weight change, and body composition in obese people. Each participant will be randomized to receive the intervention (intermittent fasting, intermittent fasting with behavioral economics, or intensive lifestyle modification. The study protocol will be explained to the eligible participant and informed written consent will be obtained. The total sample size will be 123 participants. Blood and urine samples will be collected at baseline and each follow-up visit including 1-month, 2-months, 6-month, and 12-months, respectively for further study to find out the mechanisms of weight loss, weight regain, and the improvement in the metabolic disease.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer type among women in Egypt and world. Preclinical studies show fasting reduces growth factors and modulates nutrient sensing systems, protecting normal cells against chemotherapy. However, cancer cells are not protected due to Differential Stress Resistance (DSR), making them more vulnerable to chemotherapeutics. This study aims to evaluate intermittent fasting impact on neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer patients.
This study, which aims to examine the effect of Ramadan fasting on intestinal microbiota composition and FABP4, was designed as a quasi-experimental study. This study is planned to be conducted with volunteer participants who fasted during the Ramadan and met the inclusion criteria.
The central hypothesis of this study is that closer adherence to time restricted eating (TRE) will improve endothelial function, neurovascular (NVC) responses, resulting in improved cognitive performance, potentially through activation of SIRT1-dependent vasoprotective pathways.
The objective of the prospective monocentric pilot trial is to investigate the influence of intermittent fasting with or without a once-daily intake with medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) on the frequency of seizures in patients with therapy-refractory epilepsy. The effects of 12 weeks intermittent fasting according to the 16:8 method (IF 16:8) are compared to 12 weeks intermittent fasting with additional intake of exogenous MCTs (IF MCT 16:8) in a within-subject-crossover-design in 28 patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.
The aim was to test the difference in glycemic variability after meal consumption during intermittent fasting and the usual diet.
