I don’t have a subscription, but I’d be interested to know how long the IF protocol was (both duration of fasting and number of weeks of IF) and what the human equivalent is. I understand that there are reasons why a short IF regimen in mice equates to a very long IF regimen in humans.

Pre-weighed food was provided in the food hopper of their home cage at 9:30 am (unless a fasting day for the IF groups), and leftover food was weighed 24 h later.
