THE EFFECTS OF CHRONIC INTERMITTENT FASTING ON GLYCEMIC CONTROL AND WHITE ADIPOSE TISSUE REDOX HOMEOSTASIS ARE SEX-DEPENDENT

Intermittent fasting is a dietary strategy that has been shown to be effective in improving body composition and metabolic parameters, which have been associated with improvements in the phenotype and redox homeostasis of adipose tissue. However, recent studies suggest that, in the long term, fasting may contribute to adiposity gain and insulin resistance. Therefore, it is important to assess, from a temporal perspective, how such intervention impacts these parameters.
