Summary: Intermittent fasting (IF) has gained popularity as a potential anticarcinogenic strategy, but its effects on cancer patients remain unclear without high-quality randomized clinical trials. More research is needed to determine the risks and benefits of IF for cancer patients before it can be recommended outside of clinical trials.

Summary: This study reviewed the scientific evidence on hypoglycemic events (HE) occurrence among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) fasting during Ramadan, as well as the effects of different moderators on HE incidence. Results showed that non-sulfonylureas hypoglycemic medications were more effective in reducing the incidence of HE, with various factors such as sex, geographical location, body indicators, season, dietary behaviors, fasting duration, time since diagnosis, and pre-fasting education associated with experiencing HE during Ramadan.

Summary: This study found that intermittent fasting (IF) was more beneficial in reducing body weight, waist circumference, and fat mass compared to non-intervention diet. IF also effectively improved insulin resistance and blood lipid conditions compared with non-intervention diets. However, IF showed less benefit over caloric restriction (CR).

Summary: Fasting is a key topic in the Nutritional Era, involving catabolism of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates to maintain blood glucose levels and promote longevity. While studies show benefits, there is a lack of safe fasting protocols for physicians to prescribe. Research needs to focus on specific guidelines to enhance effectiveness and improve body composition.

Summary: Intermittent fasting (IF) is a form of time restricted eating with potential neuroprotective effects. This study investigated the effect of IF on cerebral angiogenesis in ischemic rats. The results showed that long-term IF improved neurological outcomes, increased microvessel density (MVD), and activated the GDF11/ALK5 signaling pathway.

Summary: Dietary interventions have a significant impact on body metabolism and can hinder cancer growth and progression while enhancing the efficacy of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Although current clinical trials have small sample sizes, they have shown clinical benefits for cancer patients.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of intermittent fasting on the mental and physical fatigue of obese rats. The results showed that intermittent fasting led to slower weight gain and lower blood glucose levels compared to the ad libitum group. The type of diet also affected ketone levels. However, there was no significant difference in mental or physical fatigue between intermittent fasting and ad libitum feeding.

Summary: Intermittent fasting diets, which involve periods of fasting alternating with periods of eating, have gained popularity for their potential weight loss benefits. However, research on the health benefits of these diets in humans is limited, highlighting the need for further study in this area.

Summary: Fasting may improve the response of tumor cells to chemotherapy through multiple mechanisms, protect normal cells, and enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy. However, with limited human trials, more human studies with sufficient sample size and follow-ups are needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: The study aims to investigate the metabolomics changes during the observance of Ramadan diurnal intermittent fasting (RDIF). The results showed that there were significant reductions in some metabolites and increases in others during RDIF. Furthermore, the study found that RDIF significantly affected various metabolic pathways, including histidine metabolism, folate biosynthesis, phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan biosynthesis, aminoacyltRNA biosynthesis, caffeine metabolism, and vitamin B-6 metabolism.

Summary: The study aimed to examine the association between iron biomarkers and menopausal status and assess whether these biomarkers can help differentiate menopausal status beyond age. The results showed that iron biomarkers were significantly associated with menopausal status in both cohorts and modestly improved a model with age alone for differentiating menopause status.

Summary: This study used a cohort of community-dwelling adults to establish the 10-year incidence and predictors of dizziness/vertigo, and its impacts on health-related quality of life. The results showed that age and presence of migraine were significant predictors of incident dizziness/vertigo, and dizziness/vertigo was associated with a significant decrease in quality of life.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the clinical course and outcomes of Covid-19 between premenopausal and postmenopausal women, and investigate the factors that influence disease severity. The results showed that premenopausal women had a more favorable prognosis, and age, postmenopausal status, and serum levels of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate were important predictors of the severity of Covid-19 in women.
