Intermittent Fasting Modulation of the Diabetic Syndrome in Streptozotocin-Injected Rats
This study investigates the effects of intermittent overnight fasting in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats (STZ rats). Over 30 days, groups of 5-6 control or STZ rats were allowed free food access, starved overnight, or exposed to a restricted food supply comparable to that ingested by the intermittently fasting animals. Intermittent fasting improved glucose tolerance, increased plasma insul...
متن کاملIntermittent Fasting Modulation of the Diabetic Syndrome in Streptozoto- cin-Injected Rats: Post-Mortem Investigations
Intermittent fasting was previously reported to exert beneficial effects in sand rats, an animal model of diabetes. The present report complements recent comparable findings recorded in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats (STZ rats). Intermittent fasting minimized the increase in pancreatic, hepatic and renal weight otherwise observed in the STZ rats. The glycogen content of the liver was high...
متن کاملIntermittent fasting modulation of the diabetic syndrome in sand rats. II. In vivo investigations.
This study deals with the effects of daily intermittent fasting for 15 h upon the development of diabetes in sand rats exposed to a hypercaloric diet. The same pattern of daily intermittent fasting was imposed on sand rats maintained on a purely vegetal diet (control animals). Over the last 30 days of the present experiments, non-fasting animals gained weight, whilst intermittently fasting sand...
متن کاملIntermittent fasting modulation of the diabetic syndrome in sand rats. III. Post-mortem investigations.
The present report concerns several post-mortem variables examined in sand rats that were either maintained on a vegetal diet (control animals) or exposed first during a 20-day transition period to a mixed diet consisting of a fixed amount of a hypercaloric food and decreasing amounts of the vegetal food and then to a 30-day experimental period of exposure to the hypercaloric food. During the l...
متن کاملCardioprotection by intermittent fasting in rats.
BACKGROUND Intermittent fasting (IF), a dietary regimen in which food is available only every other day, increases the life span and reduces the incidence of age-associated diseases in rodents. We have reported neuroprotective effects of IF against ischemic injury of the brain. In this study, we examined the effects of IF on ischemic injury of the heart in rats. METHODS AND RESULTS After 3 mo...
