%0 Journal Article %T The ghrelin and leptin responses to short-term starvation vs a carbohydrate-free diet in men with type 2 diabetes; a controlled, cross-over design study %A Frank Quentin Nuttall %A Mary Carol Gannon %A Rami Mahmoud Almokayyad %J Archive of "Nutrition & Metabolism". %D 2016 %R 10.1186/s12986-016-0106-x %X We recently have reported the 24-hour glucose, insulin and glucagon responses to a 72-hour fast compared to a 72-hour macronutrient-sufficient, carbohydrate-free diet in men with type 2 diabetes. The 72-hour time period was used because it is the time required for the major metabolic adjustments to a lack of food to be instituted. As part of that study, ghrelin and leptin responses were monitored %K Ghrelin %K Leptin %K Carbohydrate-free diet %K Type 2 diabetes %K Dietary carbohydrates %K Dietary fats %K 24-hour profile %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4957917/
