Supervised beego alleviates thrombosis risk after water-only fasting and refeeding. (a) The Beego protocol used in the present study comprised seven complete water-only fasting days (wFD), associated with psychological induction and breath training, followed by seven refeeding days (rFD). Testing was performed at 07:00 to 09:00 a.m. of the following days: wFD 1, 4, 7 and rFD 7 as indicated. (b) Blood triacylglycerol (TG) test in TG normal (male=6, female=16) and high (male=4, female=3) subjects. (c) Blood total cholesterol (TC) test in TC normal (male=5, female=12) and TC high (male=5, female=7) subjects. (d) Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) test in LDL-C normal (male=5, female=13) and high (male=5, female=6) subjects. (e) High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in the normal (male=7, female=10) and low (male=4, female=1) subjects. (f) Bubble diagram of plasma proteomics analysis (label-free data-independent acquisition) for 10 subjects for each group (5 for male and female each, aged 30 to 60). Gene ontology enrichment analysis for three categories of proteins responsible for platelet-related thrombosis risk, with comparison between the testing days as indicated. Fold change is shown by the colour and q value for statistical significance is represented by the size of the dots. Data are means±SEM. *p<0.05; **p<0.01; ***p<0.001. *significant compared with the wFD1 immediately before the start of fasting.
