Fig. 2: Time-restricted feeding suppresses excess sucrose-induced fatty liver and hyperlipidemia in the rats. Excess sucrose diet induces hyperlipidemia and fatty liver, which causes metabolic syndrome. However, if the rats do not eat in resting time (light phase), the degree of hyperlipidemia and fatty liver is ameliorated. Rats usually eat about 80 percent of their diet in active phase (dark phase). So eating the remaining 20 percent in active phase ameliorates the adverse effect of excess sucrose.
