Chronodisruption: History and Progress of an 18-Year-Old Concept and How Time-Restricted Feeding in Mice May Protect Body Clocks and Metabolism During Long-Term Jetlag

AI simplified

Abstract

Time-restricted feeding in mice may prevent disruptions in peripheral circadian clocks during chronic jetlag.

  • Peripheral circadian clocks are linked to metabolic processes in the body.
  • Chronic jetlag can disrupt these clocks, potentially leading to metabolic issues.
  • Time-restricted feeding could help maintain the rhythm of these clocks despite jetlag.
  • The findings suggest that dietary timing may play a role in metabolic health during disruption of sleep patterns.
