How the Body's Internal Clock Controls Liver Metabolism

AI simplified

Abstract

Genetic or environmental disruption of the circadian clock may cause metabolic diseases.

  • The circadian clock regulates various metabolic functions in the gastrointestinal tract and liver.
  • Disruption of the circadian clock can exacerbate existing pathological states.
  • Asynchrony between external time and the circadian clock is increasingly common due to modern lifestyles.
  • Interactions between altered energy metabolism and circadian disruption may lead to diabetes and other metabolic diseases.
  • Circadian clock genes play significant roles in the regulation of glucose, lipid, and bile acid metabolism.
