The Effect of Fasting on Peak Fat Oxidation, Mitochondrial Coupling and Extracellular Matrix
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Diet: Long-term fasting (84 hours), physiological testing before and after fasting: sampling of blood, abdominal adipose tissue and skeletal muscle for molecular analysis and respiratory measurements at rest.
Study summary
The interventional study will recruit four groups (n=10 per group): Young men and women with normal weight (BMI 18-25), and young men and women with obesity (BMI \>30). The study will investigate the effect of 84 hours of fasting on peak fat oxidation, mitochondrial coupling and the extracellular matrix.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- The effect of fasting and obesity on protein glycosylation of the extracellular matrix in adipose tissue — The fasting will last approximately 84 hours.
The composition and protein glycosylation of the extracellular matrix will be measured in abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue samples in 20 healthy normal weight men and women and 20 healthy obese men and women.
