We show that brief periods of fasting induce functional changes similar to those induced by long-term dietary restriction in mice, and these changes include protection from ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms of protection induced by fasting, and we deter
We read with great interest the recent article by Verweij et al. 1 The authors ascribe the beneficial effects of preoperative fasting in reducing liver ischemia/reperfusion injury to the induction of heme oxygenase 1 and various antioxidants, including superoxide dismutase 2, glutathione peroxidase
