Background: Fasting has been recently discovered to improve overall health, but its beneficial effects in the presence of hepatic insufficiency have not been proven. Aim: The influence of fasting on the metabolism, immunological aspects, and oxidative stress of 40 male carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-intoxicated Wistar rats was investigated in the present study. Methods: The rats were divided into four groups, including a placebo group, CCl4-intoxicated rats, which were injected subcutaneously with 1.0 ml/kg of CCl4 solution, a fasting group, which was fasted 12 h/day for 30 days, and a fourth group, which was injected with CCl4 and fasted. Results: The metabolism, immunity, and oxidative stress improved in CCl4-intoxicated rats fasted for 12 h/day for 30 days, as evidenced in significant increase ( p < 0.05) in total protein, globulin, immunoglobulin M (IgM) and IgG levels, and total antioxidant capacity. In contrast, significant decrease ( p < 0.05) in blood glucose, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, alanine aminotransferase, C-reactive protein, and malondialdehyde levels were observed. Compared with CCl4-intoxicated rats, significant differences in the albumin, triacylglycerol, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, very low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, cardiovascular risk factor, calcium and magnesium levels were not detected. Conclusions: The results of the present study showed that fasting improved metabolism, immunity, and oxidative stress in CCl4-intoxicated rats. Thus, fasting during Ramadan is safe for patients with hepatic disorders, as the prophet Mohammed (S) said “Keep the fast, keep your health”.

Copper Soap

The use of a mixture of copper soap, 5 or 10 per cent, with 1 per cent mineral oil, dissolved in petrol or benzol, increases the life of silk plankton nets by about four or five hundred per cent, and roughly doubles that of a hemp net for a single treatment. The beneficial effects last far longer than does the green colour. Re-treatment at suitable intervals is recommended.The use of 5 or 10 per cent of resin * with an equal percentage of the soap improves its adherence to the fabric, as does also the addition of tar or anti-fouling paint. For silk nets, to avoid clogging, only one-half per cent of resin should be used with 5 per cent of soap.A liquid soap mixture, which may be used with paraffin oil, can be obtained by adding one pound of resin to one pound of melted copper soap, and then dissolving in one and a half pounds of carbon tetrachloride. When wanted, this is used to make up a paraffin oil soap solution of the desired concentration, but adherence is less than with petrol.
