Eating, diet, and nutrition for the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Georg Semmler et al.

Summary: Nutrition and dietary interventions play a central role in the pathophysiology and management of NAFLD. Calorie restriction, adherence to a Mediterranean diet and intermittent fasting show promising effects in reducing liver fat content. Personalized dietary recommendations considering genetic background and microbiome could further enhance the effectiveness of interventions.

Intermittent Fasting Activates AMP-Kinase to Restructure Right Ventricular Lipid Metabolism and Microtubules

Felipe Kazmirczak et al.

Summary: Intermittent fasting (IF) extends life span through pleotropic mechanisms, with adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) playing a crucial role. AMPK enhances lipid metabolism and modulates microtubule dynamics. Dysregulation of these pathways leads to right ventricular (RV) failure in pulmonary arterial hypertension patients. In rodent models of pulmonary arterial hypertension, IF activates RV AMPK, restoring mitochondrial and peroxisomal morphology and regulating lipid metabolism proteins. Additionally, IF increases electron transport chain protein levels and activity in the right ventricle. RV function measured by echocardiography and hemodynamics correlates positively with fatty acid oxidation and electron transport chain protein levels. IF also normalizes transverse tubule structure by reducing microtubule density.

Intermittent Fasting and Metabolic Health

Izzah Vasim et al.

Summary: Given the strain of the obesity epidemic on public health outcomes, new approaches to weight control are necessary. Intermittent fasting, with its beneficial metabolic effects, is an option to consider for individuals with unhealthy weight gain patterns. However, further research is needed for long-term outcomes and it should be avoided in specific health conditions.

NAFLD: Mechanisms, Treatments, and Biomarkers

Fatiha Nassir

Summary: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), also known as metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), is a common liver disease worldwide that is closely linked to the obesity epidemic. Currently, there is no specific pharmacological treatment available for NAFLD due to incomplete understanding of its mechanisms, lack of accurate and inexpensive imaging tools, and inadequate non-invasive biomarkers. NAFLD can lead to metabolic-associated steatohepatitis (NASH), liver fibrosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of the 5:2 intermittent fasting diet on patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The results demonstrate that adhering to the 5:2 intermittent fasting diet can improve anthropometric indices, hepatic steatosis, liver enzymes, triglycerides, and inflammatory biomarkers in NAFLD patients.

Effect of Intermittent Fasting on Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Cong Yin et al.

Summary: Intermittent fasting has been found to be beneficial for weight management and liver enzyme improvement in patients with NAFLD, showing significant differences in weight, BMI, ALT, and AST compared to the control group. However, there were no significant differences in other metabolic parameters such as TG and TC between the two groups. Further studies are needed to assess the long-term feasibility and safety of intermittent fasting.

Influence of high-intensity interval training and intermittent fasting on myocardium apoptosis pathway and cardiac morphology of healthy rats

Marianna R. Carvalho et al.

Summary: The study shows that high-intensity interval training promotes cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and interstitial fibrosis in healthy rat myocardium, while also modulating the apoptosis signaling pathway. Conversely, intermittent fasting reduces cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, collagen interstitial fraction, and pro-apoptotic protein expression, and increases antiapoptotic protein expression.

Effect of Ramadan intermittent fasting on cognitive, physical and biochemical responses to strenuous short-term exercises in elite young female handball players

Ahmed Graja et al.

Summary: The study found that Ramadan intermittent fasting (RF) led to an increase in Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) scores, a decrease in Running-based Anaerobic Sprint (RAST) performance, and higher levels of muscle damage and fatigue, especially during the last week of Ramadan (LWR). These changes may be due to disruptions in sleep and circadian rhythms rather than nutritional deficiency or dehydration.

Remodeling of the gut microbiome during Ramadan-associated intermittent fasting

Junhong Su et al.

Summary: Intermittent fasting, particularly observed during Ramadan, was found to increase gut microbiome diversity and upregulate specific bacterial families such as Lachnospiraceae and Ruminococcaceae. These changes in microbiome composition returned to baseline after cessation of intermittent feeding, and alterations in Lachnospiraceae concentrations were correlated with changes in physiological parameters provoked by intermittent fasting. The study suggests that the upregulation of butyric acid-producing Lachnospiraceae may play a role in the health benefits associated with intermittent fasting.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Elizabeth E. Powell et al.

Summary: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common global health issue with significant associations with metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes, leading to serious complications like cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. While cardiovascular disease and extrahepatic malignancy are the main causes of death in NAFLD patients, advanced liver fibrosis is a key prognostic marker for liver-related outcomes and overall mortality.

Diet-induced obesity in animal models: points to consider and influence on metabolic markers

Mariana de Moura e Dias et al.

Summary: Overweight and obesity are global public health problems that have increased considerably in prevalence. Diet-induced obesity animal models can replicate human overweight and obesity, with various protocols to lead to excess fat deposition. Key points for inducing obesity through diet include evaluating body weight, fat gain, inflammation, hormonal concentration, blood glycemia, lipid profile, liver health, and considering diet composition and calorie overconsumption for obesity development.
