Webber J, Macdonald IA. The cardiovascular, metabolic and hormonal changes accompanying acute starvation in men and women. British Journal of Nutrition. 1994 Mar;71(3):437-447. doi:10.1079/bjn19940150

Why we cite it

Provides a larger-sample replication (n=29, both sexes) of the finding that short-term fasting increases rather than decreases metabolic rate, and adds cardiovascular data (heart rate, blood pressure, forearm blood flow) that complement the metabolic and hormonal findings in Zauner 2000.
