Effect of fasting on body composition and proteolysis gene expression in skeletal muscles and liver of BEH+/+ and BEL mice

Fasting improves health, but can cause muscle weakness. We assessed body composition in 21-week old males of Berlin high (BEH+/+) and Berlin low (BEL) strains after two bouts of 48-h or 40-h of fasting with 5-day refeeding in between, respectively. BEH+/+ mice tended to loose less weight than BEL in...

Summary:Fasting improves health, but can cause muscle weakness. We assessed body composition in 21-week old males of Berlin high (BEH+/+) and Berlin low (BEL) strains after two bouts of 48-h or 40-h of fasting with 5-day refeeding in between, respectively. BEH+/+ mice tended to loose less weight than BEL in bout 1 and 2 (16.0 ± 2.7 versus 23.5 ± 2.9%, p
