THE EFFECT OF SHORT-TERM FASTING ON LIVER AND SKELETAL MUSCLE LIPID, GLUCOSE, AND ENERGY METABOLISM IN HEALTHY WOMEN AND MEN

The effect of short-term fasting on liver and skeletal muscle lipid, glucose, and energy metabolism in healthy women and men

Fasting promotes triglyceride (TG) accumulation in lean tissues of some animals, but the effect in humans is unknown.Additionally, fasting lipolysis is sexually dimorphic in humans, suggesting that lean tissue TG accumulation and metabolism may differ between women and men.This study investigated lean tissue TG content and metabolism in women and m
