Abstract

Intermittent fasting decreased body weight and fat cell size in high-fat diet-fed mice.

  • Intermittent fasting reduced energy intake in mice on both chow and high-fat diets.
  • Fat mass was decreased and glucose tolerance improved in both diet groups after intermittent fasting.
  • Mice on a high-fat diet showed reduced levels of macrophage markers in adipose tissue following intermittent fasting.
  • Intermittent fasting altered genes related to inflammation in adipose tissue for both diet groups.
  • In high-fat diet-fed mice, intermittent fasting decreased markers associated with fibrosis and increased matrix metallopeptidase 9 levels.
