This anomaly led to the determination of the metabolic role of ketone bodies. Subsequent studies transformed our understanding of ketone bodies and illustrated the value of challenging the norm and adapting theory to evidence. Although prolonged fasting is no longer a treatment for obesity, the early studies of starvation provided valuable insights about macronutrient metabolism and ketone body adaptations that fasting elicits. Intermittent fasting and its variants such as time-restricted eating are fasting models that are far less regimented than starvation and severe calorie restriction; yet they produce metabolic benefits. The mechanisms that produce the metabolic changes that intermittent fasting elicits are relatively unknown. In this article, we review the physiology of starvation, starvation adaptation diets, diet-induced ketosis, and intermittent fasting. Understanding the premise and physiology that these regimens induce is necessary to draw parallels and provoke thoughts on the mechanisms underlying the metabolic benefits of intermittent fasting and its variants.</p>","PeriodicalId":14183,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Obesity","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142377919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fetal growth rates at weeks 28 and 34 were extracted from individual trajectories using mixed models. We identified patterns of infant BMI Z-score growth using latent class analysis and estimated odds ratios of overweight at age 5–9 years dependent on fetal and infant growth.
