El ayuno intermitente y sus efectos en la salud metabólica en humanos

Rev. méd. Chile; 151 (1), 2023
Intermittent fasting (IF) has gained increasing scientific and general attention. Most studied forms of IF include alternate-day fasting, modified alternate-day fasting, and time-restricted eating (TRE). Several cardiometabolic effects of IF have been described in animal models and, to a lesser extent, i...

Sodium butyrate in post-hatch feed for broiler chicks

This study was designed to determine adequate levels for sodium butyrate inclusion in pre-hatching and pre-starter feed in order to minimize the negative effects of post-hatch delayed placement on broiler chicks. Newly-hatched chicks were allotted in a completely randomized design, with five treatments, ...

Duración del ayuno preoperatorio en pacientes con cirugía programada
Duration of preoperative fasting in patients with scheduled surgery

Antecedentes y objetivo: el ayuno preoperatorio disminuye el riesgo de aspiración del contenido gástrico y sus complicaciones. Sin embargo, si es excesivo, favorece la regurgitación y el riesgo de broncoaspiración tras la inducción anestésica, así como alteraciones metabólicas e hidroelectrolíti...

Low energy reserves are associated with fasting susceptibility in Neotropical nectar bats Glossophaga soricina

Braz. j. biol; 79 (2), 2019
Abstract Neotropical nectar-feeding bats consume large amounts of sugar and use most of their energy-rich diet directly from the bloodstream, suggesting an adaptation towards lower body energy reserves. Here we tested the hypothesis that bats Glossophaga soricina spare the energy costs of storing energy...

Unexpectedly prolonged fasting and its consequences on elderly patients undergoing spinal anesthetics. A prospective observational study

Acta cir. bras; 34 (3), 2019
Abstract Purpose: To measure the preoperative fasting durations with respect to time of the day and its effect on vital parameters and electrocardiogram in elderly patients undergoing surgery under spinal anesthesia. Methods: This study investigated 211 patients older than 60 years undergoing elective ...

Rev. Col. Bras. Cir; 46 (5), 2019
RESUMO Objetivo: investigar os efeitos da abreviação do jejum pré-operatório, uma recomendação do protocolo de "Aceleração da Recuperação Total Pós-operatória" (ACERTO), em sintomas pós-operatórios de pacientes submetidas à cirurgias ginecológicas. Métodos: estudo controlado, randomiza...

Protein and lipid metabolism adjustments in silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen) during different periods of fasting and refeeding

Braz. j. biol; 78 (3), 2018
Abstract The fish may experience periods of food deprivation or starvation which produce metabolic changes. In this study, adult Rhamdia quelen males were subjected to fasting periods of 1, 7, 14, and 21 days and of refeeding 2, 4, 6, and 12 days. The results demonstrated that liver protein was depleted ...

Autophagy and intermittent fasting: the connection for cancer therapy?

Clinics; 73 (supl.1), 2018
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, and its incidence is continually increasing. Although anticancer therapy has improved significantly, it still has limited efficacy for tumor eradication and is highly toxic to healthy cells. Thus, novel therapeutic strategies to improve chemotherapy, radiothe...

Fasting: a major limitation for resistance exercise training effects in rodents

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (1), 2018
Protocols that mimic resistance exercise training (RET) in rodents present several limitations, one of them being the electrical stimulus, which is beyond the physiological context observed in humans. Recently, our group developed a conditioning system device that does not use electric shock to stimulate...
