ABSTRACT
Background:
Fasting during the month of Ramadan for Muslims is a unique metabolic model that includes abstinence from food and fluid intake during the period from dawn to sunset as well as a reduction in meal frequency and alterations in the sleep-wakefulness cycle. Leptin, neuropeptide-Y and insulin are thought to play an important role in long-term regulation of caloric intake and energy expenditure. However, the long-term changes and interactions between these factors during this pattern of fasting are not known
