Effect of Ramadan fasting in Saudi Arabia on serum bone profile and immunoglobulins
Conclusions:
Changes in dietary practices during Ramadan modulated PTH secretion to a pattern which might be beneficial to bone health. Combined effects of fasting and disturbed sleep led to a noted decrease in IgG level. Therefore, a possible beneficial effect of fasting on bone turnover is combined with decreased immune response.
