Endocrine Adaptations to Prolonged Fasting: From Physiology, Clinical Uncertainties, Translational Challenges to Healthspan Implications
Overall, prolonged fasting activates conserved endocrine mechanisms that may confer plausible cardiometabolic benefits; however, their translation to clinical practice remains speculative. We highlight key knowledge gaps and propose directions for future research in this emerging field.
