Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) shows protective effects on cells in various models of degenerative diseases. Here we studied whether circulating concentrations of MANF are associated with fasting-induced positive effects. We quantified the levels of circulating MANF from 40 human subjects before and after therapeutic fasting. As measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent a...
