This research aims to determine whether intermittent Alternate-Day Feeding of a high-fat diet can reverse diet-induced diabetes by enhancing insulin biosynthesis in mice.
Male Ins2-proinsulin-R(B22)E mice fed a high-fat diet for 6 weeks were used to induce obesity and diabetes.
Diabetic mice underwent 5 weeks of either Alternate-Day Feeding of a high-fat diet or ad libitum normal chow.
Evaluated parameters included calorie consumption, insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance, β-cell markers, and islet insulin content.
Intermittent fasting with ADF-HFD led to significantly increased islet proinsulin synthesis and insulin content.
Only the ADF-HFD group restored glycemic control and reduced islet phospho-eIF2α levels.
Both groups showed similar energy expenditure and body weight, but the ADF-HFD improved β-cell maturity and reduced β-cell stress.
