Notes: Literature (six studies) was grouped by diet modification (two studies), dietary restriction (two studies), or fasting/complete food withdrawal (two studies). Arrows indicate whether markers regulated by this form of stress increased (↑) or decreased (↓) in expression and/or activation. If a WT vs. KO model is employed, only the results from the WT group are indicated. Various time measurements are indicated for the length of imposed stress. KO: knockout; Cre: creatine; HF/HS: high fat/high sucrose; F: fasting; CR: caloric restriction.
