Circadian Rhythm and the Gut Microbiome

Circadian rhythms regulate various biological functions and disruptions may lead to serious health issues.

• Circadian rhythms are 24-hour cycles that coordinate behavior and cellular functions in living organisms.
• Disruptions in these rhythms are associated with conditions like metabolic syndrome, cancer, and cardiovascular disease.
• The intestinal microbiome is influenced by circadian rhythms, which are affected by intrinsic clocks and host behavior.
• Diet and timing of food intake can alter the structure and activity of microbial communities in the gut.
• Changes in microbiota rhythms may significantly impact the host's immune and metabolic functions.
