Abstract

Abstract Intermittent fasting (IF) as a dietary intervention with potential health benefits has garnered significant attention in recent years. This study investigated the effects of varying fasting intensities on skeletal muscle growth using mouse models. Compared to the normal-diet (ND) control group, short-term fasting induced feeding amount-dependent alterations in skeletal muscle autophagy markers, characterized by elevated LC3B expression, reduced p62 levels, and decreased p-mTOR/mTOR ratio. Notably, short-term mild fasting (sMF) significantly upregulated myogenic (MYH, MyoD) and adipoge
