In Islamic fasting, participants abstain from food and water between dawn and sunset. This study was conducted to determine the changes in blood urea and glucose and their associations with energy-containing nutrients in men during the Islamic fasting month of Ramadan. Sixteen healthy male college students consumed a high-carbohydrate diet for 2 wk followed by a high-fat diet for the next 2 wk. Fasting blood samples were taken on day 0 (base line), 14, and 28, and analyzed for urea and glucose. At the end of the fasting period the blood urea level increased significantly (p < 0.05) and the glucose level decreased. At day 14, blood urea was negatively correlated to sucrose intake (p <0.01) and at day 28, the relationship between blood glucose and energy intake was negative (p < 0.02). The findings suggest possible use of a Ramadan fasting model for studies related to energy metabolism and regulation of energy intake. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
