Circadian rhythms and obesity: Timekeeping governs lipid metabolism
Body Clock Controls Fat Metabolism and Its Link to Obesity
AI simplified
Abstract
Circadian clocks produce oscillations with a period of approximately 24 hours.
- Circadian clocks drive rhythms in physiology to synchronize bodily functions with the external environment.
- Disruption of circadian rhythms can have long-term effects on metabolic health.
- There is an increasing recognition of the interaction between circadian rhythms and lipid metabolism in relation to obesity.
- Factors such as hormones, the gut microbiome, and energy metabolism may link the circadian clock to lipid metabolism.
- Deregulation of circadian clock-lipid metabolism interactions could heighten the risk of obesity and further disrupt circadian organization.
- Feeding time and dietary nutrients are key environmental factors that influence the relationship between circadian rhythms and lipid metabolism.
