H Nakamura, K Kouda, R Tokunaga, H Takeuchi - Toxicology letters, 2004 - Elsevier
Dietary restriction improves declining physiologic functions, prevents or lessens the severity
of neoplasms and autoimmune diseases, and attenuates various inflammatory reactions. In
the present study, we compared the effect on allergic dermatitis from repeated short-term
fasting (every 3 days), and from moderate dietary restriction receiving 60% of the amount of
food consumed by an ad libitum feeding group. In addition, we attempted to verify the
involvement of corticosteroids and oxidative stress during nutritional deprivation. The overall …
