Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Obesity and its associated co-morbidities are severe public health problems worldwide. An alternative to reduce the impacts of obesity and metabolic disorders resulting from excess body adiposity is to impose time-restricted feeding (TRF), an eating strategy in which access to food is limited to a variable time (commonly between eight and ten hours), leading to an extended period of fasting (i.e., > 6 h per 24 h). In the literature, preclinical studies have shown that TRF prevented the adverse effects of metabolic diseases induced by a high-fat diet, regardless of caloric intake and food composition, even in rodents with desynchrony of the circadian cycle. This scenario has aroused great scientific interest in better understanding the effects of TRF alone or combined with other pharmacological or non-pharmacological actions. Considering these notes and the promising impact of TRF, additional studies may complement and fill specific gaps in this area of knowledge. In addition, future studies should consider other assays, such as those relevant to aging, rheumatic and respiratory diseases, cancer, etc. No less important, special attention must be paid to study designs that can inform the development of future clinical trials. The analyses of differences between the sexes and repeated studies in female rodents are fundamental and should be included. This Special Issue is devoted to "Time-Restricted Eating to Prevent and Manage Chronic Metabolic Diseases". The topics covered include (not exclusively) studies on the physiologic, metabolic, and molecular mechanisms in animals and humans submitted to TRF alone or combined with other therapeutic strategies.
