This preclinical study in normal-weight male mice compared long-term (72h) and conventional (24h) intermittent fasting protocols and found that the 72-hour fasting regimen produced stronger and more sustainable improvements in glucose tolerance, lipid utilization, and exercise endurance, lasting for four weeks after fasting ended.
This preclinical study investigated the prolonged metabolic effects of intermittent fasting (IF) in normal-weight male mice. Mice were assigned to either a conventional 24-hour IF protocol (24hIF) or a long-term 72-hour fasting protocol (72hIF) for four weeks, followed by four weeks of ad libitum feeding.
