Metabolic adaptation
Prolonged fasting resulted in a significant decrease in carbohydrate oxidation after a normal mixed meal.
Practitioners should consider the effects of prolonged fasting on carbohydrate metabolism when designing nutrition plans.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Postprandial carbohydrate oxidation was significantly reduced after the 72- vs. 13-h fast (P < 0.0001).
