First seen Apr 20, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study looks at what happens to your immune cells when you fast for 24 hours. The body switches from using sugar to burning fat for energy, and researchers want to see how that change affects immune cell function. 28 healthy adults aged 18-40 will have blood tests before and after fasting. This is an observational study, not a treatment or cure.
