Abstract
Circadian rhythms in adipose tissue may influence metabolic and cardiovascular health.
- Adipose tissue acts as an endocrine organ, releasing signaling molecules that affect the body.
- The circadian clock regulates various physiological functions based on environmental cues.
- Recent studies show that certain genes in adipose tissue follow circadian expression patterns.
- Disruptions in circadian rhythms could lead to problems with adipose tissue and metabolism.
- Understanding these circadian mechanisms may help develop strategies to reduce metabolic and cardiovascular disease risk.
- This review discusses the connection between circadian rhythms and adipose tissue metabolism, and potential therapies targeting this relationship.
