Abstract :
As a model of intermittent fasting, the month of Ramadan is a valuable opportunity to investigate the effects of dietary modifications on human metabolism. Fasting improves insulin sensitivity, while reducing the risk of atherogenesis, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Inflammation plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of different disorders, including atherosclerosis, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular diseases. Ramadan fasting could positively modulate cardiovascular risks and improves the features of metabolic syndrome through the suppression of inflammatory responses. This review aimed to explore recent studies evaluating the regulatory role of the nutritional status of fasting in the regulation of inflammation in patients with inflammatory diseases. According to the literature, fasting has significant anti-inflammatory effects and could be a complementary therapeutic approach in the treatment of inflammatory disorders
