Short-term animal product dietary restriction alters metabolic profiles and modulates immune function
Short-term animal product restriction mostly improves systemic metabolic and immune health markers and may lower chronic inflammatory disease risk. Our findings highlight the value of studying diet in the absence of disease to reveal adaptive molecular changes and emphasize the translational potential of short-term dietary interventions in altering health-related risks.
