Overview

This review reveals intermittent fasting improves metabolic outcomes in humans and animals, suggesting enhanced hormonal regulation.

Key Points

  • Intermittent fasting potentially re-establishes homeostatic endocrine function, enhancing metabolic health.
  • Evidence indicates significant reprogramming of hormonal rhythmicity, including insulin and thyroid hormone regulation.
  • This review synthesizes findings from interventional studies exploring gut microbiota's role concerning fasting and hormonal changes.
  • Significant limitations in current research include variations in study designs and short observation durations, highlighting the need for larger trials.
