U.S., June 11 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07638696) titled 'Mitophagy and Mitochondrial DNA Dynamics During Ramadan Dry Fasting vs 16:8 Time-Restricted Feeding' on June 05.
Brief Summary: This study investigates how different types of fasting affect cell health, specifically focusing on how mitochondria (the energy-producing parts of cells) are cleared and renewed. While standard intermittent fasting allows water intake, Ramadan dry fasting involves total restriction of both food and fluids from dawn to sunset.
Researchers want to see if the combined effects of fluid restriction and natural daily body rhythms during Ramadan trigger a stronger cellular cleanup process (called mitophagy) comp...
