NCT ID NCT05038137

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether time-restricted feeding (eating only during an 8-hour window each day) could change certain blood markers linked to breast cancer risk. Twenty-nine postmenopausal women with prediabetes were randomly assigned to either the 8-hour eating schedule or a normal 12+ hour eating schedule for 3.5 months. The main goal was to see if the eating pattern was feasible and if it affected levels of AGEs and sRAGE, substances in the blood that may influence cancer risk.
