Promoting Immune Health by Intermittent Fasting: a Pilot Study

Promoting Immune Health by Intermittent

• Status: Unknown
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 24 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Academisch Medisch Centrum - Universiteit van Amsterdam (AMC-UvA) · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 21 Years – 65 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The goal is to study the direct effects of long-term intermittent fasting on immune cell populations in the blood, combined with analyses of systemic metabolic fitness and inflammatory activation of leukocytes.

Detailed description

the investigators aim to investigate the direct effects of intermittent fasting on the molecular characteristics of monocytes and their related health benefits. In addition,the investigators want to assess the post-prandial inflammation and the potential protective role of IF on post-prandial monocyte activation and its related health benefits. This pilot study may better understand the molecular mechanisms behind IF, which could further personalize lifestyle guidance and identify novel anti-inflammatory processes that control immune responses and inflammation.
