Overview

Systematic review assesses how ramadan fasting influences inflammation in overweight and non-obese people, suggesting potential health benefits.

Key Points

  • Ramadan fasting significantly reduced interleukin-6 among participants, indicating potential anti-inflammatory effects.
  • Inflammatory marker tumor necrosis factor-α also decreased significantly, especially in overweight individuals.
  • The reduction of c-reactive protein was notable in non-obese individuals, highlighting distinctions in responses.
  • Findings suggest the clinical relevance of ramadan fasting for managing inflammation and obesity-related conditions.
