When healthy young men only eat between noon and 8pm for five days straight, it doesn't change how their glycerol levels respond after eating a high-fat meal
Scientific Claim
Five days of time-restricted feeding (12:00-20:00 eating window) does not significantly affect postprandial glycerol levels in healthy young adult males aged 22±1.3 years with BMI 26.0±0.38 kg/m²

Assessment Explanation
This is a randomized crossover RCT with direct measurement of glycerol levels. The study design can establish no effect for this specific outcome in this specific population.
Source Excerpt
“Figure 3D indicated that the glycerol concentration was not significantly different between the trials (trial × time, p = 0.925; trial, p = 0.064; time, p < 0.001; Fig. 3D).”
Evidence from Studies
Supporting Evidence (1)
The study measured glycerol levels after a high-fat meal in 8 healthy young males. The time course and trial effects showed no significant differences (p=0.925 and p=0.064 respectively). This is a direct measurement from the study's data.
