Summary

The investigators hypothesized that serum FGF21 levels would increase with prolongation of the fasting period. The investigators also hypothesized that food intake and body composition would change. The study was conducted with 12 healthy male adults. A questionnaire was administered at the beginning of the study. Anthropometric measurements, dietary intake and physical activities were recorded and blood samples were taken before, during and after Ramadan.
