Alternate day calorie restriction results in changes in lipid and energy metabolism indicative of improved health in asthma subjects. Levels of total cholesterol (a), 3-hydroxybutyrate (b), leptin (c) and ghrelin (d) were measured in serum samples from asthma subjects on successive ad libitum (AL) and CR days at baseline and at 2, 4 and 8 weeks of ADCR. *p<0.05, **p<0.01 compared to the baseline value; ##p<0.01 compared the corresponding CR value.
