Abstract
Circadian abnormalities may significantly impact the immune system and intestinal microbiota in inflammatory bowel disease.
- Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are chronic inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal tract linked to immune system dysfunction.
- Current knowledge suggests that immune function and intestinal microbiota are crucial factors in the development of inflammatory bowel disease.
- The relationship between circadian rhythm disorders and inflammatory bowel disease is not well understood and requires further exploration.
- Sleep disturbances associated with circadian rhythm abnormalities may influence the severity or onset of inflammatory bowel disease.
