Muscle fibre cross-sectional area
upin rats1
Alternate-day modified fasting increases muscle fibre cross-sectional area in rats (71.20 (sd 5.16) area/μm2, effect size = 2.93).
“presenting muscle fibre hypertrophy (71·20 (sd 5·16) area/μm2; effect size = 2·93; 95 % CI: 1·57, 4·05; P < 0·001 v. CON)”

Alternate-day modified fasting decreases adipocyte area in rats (13.92 (sd 2.06) area/μm2, effect size = −4.20).
“ADMF presented a smaller adipocyte area among the fasting regimens (13·92 (sd 2·06) area/μm2; effect size = −4·20; 95 % CI: −5·45, −2·66; P < 0·001 v. CON)”
