Effects of time-restricted feeding (16/8) combined with a low-sugar diet on the management of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: A randomized controlled trial

Hamed Kord-Varkaneh et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of time-restricted feeding (TRF) combined with a low-sugar diet on patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The results showed that TRF combined with a low-sugar diet can reduce adiposity, improve liver function, lipid profile, and inflammatory markers in patients with NAFLD.

Alternate-day fasting alleviates high fat diet induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease through controlling PPAR alpha/Fgf21 signaling

Xinlei Liu et al.

Summary: Alternate day fasting (ADF) attenuated high-fat diet (HFD)-induced nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in mice by reducing hepatic inflammation and lipid accumulation. Fasting increased expression of serum and hepatic fibroblast growth Factor 21 (Fgf21) and prevented FFA-induced lipid storage in hepatocytes. Refeeding inhibited the increase in Fgf21 expression induced by fasting, suggesting a potential role of PPAR alpha/Fgf21 signaling in protecting against NAFLD.

Intermittent time-restricted feeding promotes longevity through circadian autophagy

Summary: Macroautophagy/autophagy plays a crucial role in aging and age-related diseases. A recent study showed that a newly designed dietary regimen, called intermittent time-restricted feeding (iTRF), can extend the healthspan and lifespan of flies through the circadian rhythm-dependent activation of autophagy. Specifically, the induction of autophagy during the night is both necessary and sufficient for the health benefits of iTRF. This study suggests that novel interventions promoting night-specific autophagy could be used to promote healthy aging.

The daily caloric restriction and alternate-day fasting ameliorated lipid dysregulation in type 2 diabetic mice by downregulating hepatic pescadillo 1

Jielin Zhou et al.

Summary: This study investigates the role of PES1 in the effects of caloric restriction (CR) and alternate-day fasting (ADF) interventions on diabetes-related lipid dysregulation in mice. The results show that CR and ADF can improve lipid dysregulation in diabetic mice by downregulating hepatic levels of PES1. Mechanistically, the study suggests that this downregulation of PES1 may be mediated by increased binding of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR-alpha) to the Pes1 promoter, leading to suppressed PES1 expression and reduced PES1-mediated ubiquitination of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A (CPT1A).

The study found that the liver played a major role in the development of the disease, with the circadian rhythm being a key factor in the long-term programming of metabolic health.

Effects of caloric restriction on the antagonistic and integrative hallmarks of aging

Begun Erbaba et al.

Summary: Caloric restriction is a non-genetic intervention that extends lifespan and healthspan by promoting cell survival, reducing cell proliferation, inducing stem cell quiescence, and preserving stem cell reserve for extreme needs. This protective mechanism induced by diet may involve downregulation of crucial cell cycle-related transcription activators and could offer new targets for treatments against neurodegenerative diseases.

Improvement of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Mice by Intermittent Use of a Fasting-Mimicking Diet

Jingyu Zhao et al.

Summary: The intermittent application of a FMD, with low carbohydrate/protein content and high dietary fiber, can reduce obesity and glucose intolerance induced by a high-fat high-sucrose diet in mice. It also decreases adipocyte size, increases expression of lipolysis genes and HSL protein in white adipose tissue, and reduces HFHSD-induced lipid accumulation in the liver. RNA sequencing shows elevated expression of genes involved in fatty acid oxidation with FMD intervention.

Remodeling of the gut microbiome during Ramadan-associated intermittent fasting

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.
