Intermittent fasting is a form of time restricted eating (typically 16 h fasting and 8 h eating), which has gained popularity in recent years and shows promise as a possible new paradigm in the approach to weight loss and the reduction of inflammation, and has many potential long term health benefits. In this review, the authors will incorporate many aspects of fasting, mainly focusing on its effects on the cardiovascular system, involving atherosclerosis progression, benefits for diabetes mellitus type 2, lowering of blood pressure, and exploring other cardiovascular risk factors (such as lipid profile and inflammation).

- The anaerobic Gram-negative bacteria implicated in periodontal diseases are linked to an increased risk of esophageal cancer, which ranks as the eighth leading cause of cancer deaths globally.
- The review addresses how these bacteria influence cancer development through signaling pathways and induce pro-inflammatory cytokines that can impact immune responses.
- Additionally, these bacteria produce gingipain K, which affects the host's immune system, and are involved in the overexpression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and glucose transporters (GLUTs).
