Cardiovascular and Blood Glucose Adaptation during Ramadan Fasting among Different Weight Status Subjects
Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the metabolic adaptation to Ramadan fasting among different weight status population. Methods: Forty-six subjects were recruited in this prospective longitudinal study involving normal (n=19), overweight (n=18), and obese (n=9) males and females. T...

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the metabolic adaptation to Ramadan
fasting among different weight status population.
Methods: Forty-six subjects were recruited in this prospective longitudinal study involving
normal (n=19), overweight (n=18), and obese (n=9) males and females. The values of
body weight, height, body mass index (BMI), fat mass, lean mass and etc. Blood pressure
and heart rate were then measured before approximately 5.0 mL of fasting venous blood
was withdrawn to obtain blood serum. Biochemical analysis was then conducted to
determine serum glucose level. All the procedures were done on four points of time;
before fasting, week 1, week 2, and a month after fasting.
Results: Normal subjects showed significant reduction in systolic blood pressure
(p<0.05), while overweight and obese subjects showed significant reduction in diastolic
blood pressure after Ramadan (p<0.05). Ramadan fasting does not change heart rate.Serum glucose levels were reduced in normal and overweight subjects (p<0.05).
Conclusions: Ramadan fasting gives benefits to normal, overweight and obese subjects
in term of reduction of blood pressure and blood glucose level |
