Features:
5-day diet to mimic fasting without fasting.
FMDs are caloric-restricted plant–based diets containing low proteins, low sugar and high fats which represent a more feasible and safer option to water-only fasting.
Fasting modality                         Approx CRIS
--------------------------------------   ----------
Time-restricted eating (12–16 h)          –3 to –4
Early time-restricted eating (eTRE)        –4
Intermittent fasting (24 h 1–2x/week)     –4
Periodic fasting / FMD                    –4 to –5*
Calorie restriction (chronic)             –3 (risk tradeoffs)

Fasting-Mimicking Diet (FMD; ~5-day low-protein, low-calorie cycle) Cancer vs Normal Cell Effects
Rank Pathway / Axis Cancer Cells Normal Cells Label Primary Interpretation Notes
1 Insulin / IGF-1 signaling ↓ IGF-1 signaling (chronic stress) ↓ IGF-1 with regenerative priming Driver Sustained growth factor suppression Repeated IGF-1 lowering impairs tumor growth programs
2 AMPK → mTOR nutrient sensing ↓ mTOR; ↑ AMPK (growth inhibition) ↓ mTOR; ↑ AMPK (maintenance mode) Driver Prolonged anabolic suppression More sustained but less acute than STF
3 Autophagy / mitophagy ↑ autophagy → loss of tumor robustness ↑ autophagy → rejuvenation Driver Cellular renewal vs destabilization Repeated cycles promote organelle quality control
4 Mitochondrial metabolism ↓ metabolic resilience ↑ mitochondrial fitness Secondary Energy efficiency divergence Normal cells adapt better across cycles
5 Inflammatory signaling (NF-κB / cytokines) ↓ pro-tumor inflammation ↓ systemic inflammation Secondary Anti-inflammatory milieu Inflammation reduction contributes to chemopreventive effects
6 Reactive oxygen species (ROS) ↑ ROS (secondary, context-dependent) ↓ ROS Secondary Metabolism-linked redox shift ROS effects are indirect and less pronounced than STF
7 NRF2 antioxidant response ↔ modest activation ↑ NRF2 (protective) Adaptive Stress adaptation NRF2 supports normal-cell recovery between cycles
8 Cell cycle / regeneration ↓ proliferation ↑ regeneration post-cycle Phenotypic Degrowth vs regeneration FMD uniquely promotes regeneration upon refeeding


SIRT1, Sirtuin 1 protein: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
SIRT1 (Sirtuin 1) is a protein that plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, including metabolism, stress resistance, and longevity. In the context of cancer, SIRT1 has been found to have both tumor-suppressing and tumor-promoting functions, depending on the type of cancer and the cellular context.
Expression Promotes: Breast, Prostate, Colorectal Cancer.
Expression Suppresses: Leukemia, Liver Cancers.
-aging process is associated with the inactivation of the silent information regulator T1 (SIRT1) protein.
