Intermittent Ramadan fasting was associated with a risk of complications in patients with adrenal insufficiency. A risk stratification with recommendations (lifestyle and drug adjustment) for fasting in these patients has been recently published. So, this prospective interventional study was carried out to evaluated these recommendations. Patients with secondary adrenal insufficiency and willing to fast Ramadan were included. Before Ramadan, patients underwent a clinical examination and were educated for lifestyle measures and the schedule of glucocorticoid replacement therapy was adjusted. The occurrence of complications and the number of fasted days during the month of Ramadan 2023 were reported and compared with those of Ramadan 2022.

In recent years, many studies have shown the positive effect of certain types of fasting on human health, particularly on obesity, diabetes, and aging. In particular, the beneficial effects of intermittent fasting are gaining more attention among clinical researchers. Intermittent fasting is the voluntary abstinence of individuals, from food (some or all food, drinks, or both) for a period longer than a typical overnight 12 h fast. The digestibility of food is an important characteristic, associated with the concepts of health and well-being. Digestive motility disorder leads to various digestive problems like difficulty in swallowing, acid reflux disease, severe constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting, and bloating. Hence the investigators aimed to assess the impact of intermittent fasting (religious fasting "Ramadan") on digestibility (gastrointestinal motility), weight, blood glucose level, gut microbiota, and gut permeability of the subjects. A cohort of 21 subjects homogeneously distributed by sex, age, and BMI will be prospectively enrolled and involved in the study. By comparing the analytical data before and after Ramadan the effect of intermittent fasting on digestibility, blood glucose and microbiota will be characterized by the investigators.
This study will assess the feasibility of delivering a 12-week time-restricted eating intervention as well as the intervention's preliminary efficacy on persistent cancer-related fatigue among cancer survivors compared to a general health education control. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to one of two arms: time-restricted eating or control. Those in the intervention arm will self-select a 10-hour eating window in which to consume all food and beverages (water is allowed any time, black coffee and unsweetened tea are allowed in the morning). Both groups will receive weekly educational tips on healthy lifestyle behaviors in cancer survivorship. This study will also explore relationships between fatigue, circadian rhythm, and glucose metabolism. The hypothesis is that recruitment will be feasible, and participants will adhere to time-restricted eating and complete study activities over the course of the 12 weeks. The second hypothesis is that time-restricted eating will lead to less fatigue at 12 weeks compared to the control, accounting for baseline fatigue levels.
Over the past century, lifestyles and eating habits have rapidly changed, helping to increase the onset of conditions such as obesity, metabolic syndrome and the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases such as diabetes. Recently, dietary regimens such as calorie restriction and intermittent fasting have been promoted as new strategies for reducing obesity and related co-morbidities. These strategies have proven effective in reducing body fat, improving blood pressure, lipid profile and insulin resistance in overweight individuals. However, due to the rigidity of these food protocols, the adherence of subjects to the diet is often limited or maintained only for short periods. Time-Restricted Eating (TRE) is a less extreme form of intermittent fasting, in which the subject's daily calorie intake is consumed only in a certain period of time during the day (normally 8-12 hours). TRE have been able to reduce fat mass, pro-inflammatory markers (eg IL-6, TNF-a) and have improved some biomarkers related to cardiovascular risks (eg Insulin, HDL, TG). The literature offers numerous versions of intermittent fasting, and the role of fasting duration is not yet fully clear. Thus. the aim of the present study is to investigate the effect od different duration of fasting in a TRE protocol on body composition and lipid and inflammatory profile. Moreover, the study intended to explore the effect of 2 month of TRE on long term maintenance of diet habits, body composition, lipid and inflammatory profile.
To analyze the effects of altering the time of ingestion of participants' habitual medication (i.e., metformin, statins, ARAII/IACE) and meals around the time of exercise training (exercise fasted or fed) on the improvement of metabolic syndrome factors (hypertension, insulin sensitivity, dyslipidemia, and obesity). There will be a preliminary study of the effects of training "time-of-day" on the primary study outcomes.
