"Dietary restriction has been shown to have several health benefits including increased insulin sensitivity, stress resistance, reduced morbidity, and increased life span. The mechanism remains unknown, but the need for a long-term reduction in caloric intake to achieve these benefits has been assumed. We report that when C57BL6 mice are maintained on an intermittent fasting (alternate-day fasting) dietary-restriction regimen their overall food intake is not decreased and their body weight is maintained. Nevertheless, intermittent fasting resulted in beneficial effects that met or exceeded those of caloric restriction including reduced serum glucose and insulin levels and increased resistance of neurons in the brain to excitotoxic stress. Intermittent fasting therefore has beneficial effects on glucose regulation and neuronal resistance to injury in these mice that are independent of caloric intake". How to summarize and what's the meaning above the paragraph?
Insulin and diet A study published in the Journal of theAmerican Medical Association examined people to see if they showed any signs of IRS (insulin resistance syn-drome) involving major risk factors for Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Among 102 subjects who consumeddairy products more than 35 times per week, 24 wereidentified with IRS. In comparison, IRS was identified in85 of 190 individuals with the lowest dairy consumption,fewer than 10 times per week.a) Is this strong evidence that IRS risk is different inpeople who frequently consume dairy products thanin those who do not?b) Does this indicate that diary consumption influencesthe development of IRS? Explain.
