Methods

Summary

Methods and Procedures

3 volunteers will have blood drawn by a certified phlebotomist at the following timepoints

8 PM: Baseline

8 AM: 12 hour fast

4 PM: 20 hour fast

8 PM: 24 hour fast

9 PM: 30 minutes after refeeding

An ELISA analysis will be performed to quantify the presence of IGF-1, mTORC1, and Klotho protein in each volunteer at each time point. The resultant data will allow us to create expression curves for each protein over a 24 hour fast and refeeding.
