Effects of subtotal fasting on plasmatic coagulation, fibrinolytic status and platelet activation: A controlled pilot study in healthy subjects

There is considerable controversy as to whether fasting can be recommended to patients with cardiovascular disease. The objective of this study was to determine whether a well-known method of 1-week subtotal fasting affects hemostasis in healthy subjects. Analyses were carried out before, four times...

Description
Summary:There is considerable controversy as to whether fasting can be recommended to patients with cardiovascular disease. The objective of this study was to determine whether a well-known method of 1-week subtotal fasting affects hemostasis in healthy subjects. Analyses were carried out before, four times during and 3 days after fasting in 12 fasting subjects (
