Effects of Intermittent Fasting on Health, Aging, and Disease

TLDR
Effects of Intermittent Fasting on Health and Aging evidence is accumulating that eating in a 6-hour period and fasting for 18 hours can trigger a metabolic switch from glucose-based to ketone-base fasting.

Time-restricted feeding (TRF) for prevention of age-related vascular cognitive impairment and dementia.

TL;DR: Recent evidence is presented discussing the effects of lifestyle interventions against age-related diseases which in turn, inspired novel research aimed at investigating the possible beneficial effects of dietary interventions for the prevention of cognitive decline in older adults.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intermittent fasting in the prevention and treatment of cancer

TL;DR: The effects of intermittent fasting on human cancer incidence and prognosis remain unknown because of a lack of high-quality randomized clinical trials as discussed by the authors, however, preliminary studies suggest that prolonged fasting in some patients who have cancer is safe and potentially capable of decreasing chemotherapy-related toxicity and tumor growth.

Modulating the Microbiota as a Therapeutic Intervention for Type 2 Diabetes.

TL;DR: The role of the Gut Microbiota in Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is discussed in this article, where the causal relationship between microbiota and T2D established using fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) or probiotic supplementation, and the potential underlying mechanisms such as byproducts of microbial metabolism.

Restructuring the Gut Microbiota by Intermittent Fasting Lowers Blood Pressure

TL;DR: These studies demonstrate the BP-lowering effects of IF involves manipulation of the gut microbiota and metabolome and implicate disrupted bile acid signaling as novel mechanisms by which gut dysbiosis contributes to hypertension.

Risk of dementia in diabetes mellitus: a systematic review

TL;DR: The findings of mechanistic studies suggest that vascular disease and alterations in glucose, insulin, and amyloid metabolism underlie the pathophysiology of dementia, but which of these mechanisms are clinically relevant is unclear.

Time-Restricted Feeding without Reducing Caloric Intake Prevents Metabolic Diseases in Mice Fed a High-Fat Diet

TL;DR: Mice under tRF consume equivalent calories from HFD as those with ad lib access yet are protected against obesity, hyperinsulinemia, hepatic steatosis, and inflammation and have improved motor coordination.

Starvation in man.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that decreased levels of active T3 may play a role by sparing otherwise obligated calories by decreasing metabolic needs, but this can be nullified by amino acid or protein supplementation.
