Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

One of the main purposes of the this investigation was to determine if krill oil supplementation (two grams per day for 21 days) enhances the effects of a 21-day Daniel Fast, particularly in regards to blood lipids and lipid peroxidation. The investigators were also interested in determining if adiponectin and/or resistin change in response to the fast, as these adipokines could potentially mediate the favorable glucoregulatory changes the investigators observed in our initial investigation of a 21-day Daniel Fast. Finally, the investigators sought to determine the changes in macronutrient and micronutrient intake during a Daniel Fast, and how these dietary changes affect our selected hemodynamic, anthropometric, blood lipid, glucoregulatory, oxidative stress, inflammatory, renal, and hepatic biomarkers.
