Abstract
Time-restricted feeding (TRF) and caloric restriction (CR) are proposed as key methods to study nutritional and metabolic health.
- Nutrition timing, alongside diet quality and quantity, may significantly influence metabolic health.
- Daily feeding and fasting cycles are regulated by the body's circadian clock, impacting metabolic processes.
- Preclinical studies in rodents could help clarify the relationship between feeding regimens and metabolic homeostasis.
- Methods for analyzing the effects of TRF and CR include examining changes in the circadian clock's activity and conducting glucose tolerance tests.
