چکیده مقاله:

While fasting has been practiced for centuries, its beneficial effects was unknown until recently. This review tries to analyze the current literature of how fasting and intermittent fasting (IF) could affect clinical pathological parameters, learning, mood and brain plasticity. The effects of different ways of fasting on metabolism and stress were also explored. Animal experiments have elucidated fasting and IF could exert positive effects on learning, mood and brain, plus metabolic functions such lowering plasma glucose and insulin level and improvement in lipid metabolism (reduced visceral fat tissue and increased plasma adiponectin level), and an increased resistance to stress. Thus, more clinical studies are necessary to test the effectiveness of fasting and IF in preventing different diseases.

The rate of ethanol metabolism in fed and fasting animals.

The rate of metabolism of ethanol’ in the animal body is generally accepted as being relatively constant regardless of the amount of alcohol present. The first step in the chain of oxidations of alcohol to acetaldehyde with the simultaneous reduction of diphosphopyridine nucleotide has been found to be the ratelimiting factor (1). A variety of conditions has been found effective in greater or l...
