Hypoglycemia compensation mechanisms in dry fasting

A comprehensive description of glucose behavior and the hypoglycemia compensation mechanisms in DF were presented. DF decreased insulin resistance, likely by improving the blood - cell interphase, and enhanced GFR. The increase in LDL-C, tissue-protecting IGF-1, and late increase in leptin and triglycerides were unexpected. The results may inform the development of novel therapeutic approaches for obesity, metabolic syndrome, type-2-diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, adiposity, and atheromatous diseases.
