One eight - month IER trial in
obesity - prone rats reported an increase in theproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), with no clear mechanistic explanations.26 Another trial, this time over six months, showed that IER - fed rats displayed marked reductions in diastolic compliance and cardiac reserve due to observed reductions in cardiomyocyte size and increased myocardial fibrosis.23 No
human trials to date have reported any adverse effects
on cardiovascular health during long - term IER.
