U.S., April 15 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07527208) titled 'The Meta-SHIFT Study: How Metabolic Shift Shapes Human Immunometabolism - a Fasting Trial' on March 26.
Brief Summary: During fasting, the body shifts from using carbohydrates to relying more on fat as its main source of energy. This process is known as the 'metabolic shift'. Fat tissue helps supply this energy by breaking down stored fat into fatty acids, which are released into the bloodstream and transported to organs throughout the body.
