How Body Clocks Affect Muscle and Bone Health and Their Control by Diet and Exercise

Abstract

The mammalian circadian clock influences the rhythmic expression of genes in a tissue-specific manner.

  • The circadian clock consists of a central clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus and peripheral clocks in various tissues.
  • Musculoskeletal functions exhibit diurnal variations that are regulated by the circadian clock.
  • Tissue-specific circadian rhythms impact the expression of rhythmic genes in skeletal muscle and bone.
  • Peripheral clocks respond not only to light signals from the SCN but also to external factors like feeding and exercise.
  • Chrono-nutrition and chrono-exercise may have therapeutic potential for addressing circadian disturbances and maintaining homeostasis in skeletal muscle and bone.
