Clock genes and metabolic disease
Genes that control daily body rhythms and their link to metabolic diseases
AI simplified
Abstract
The circadian system synchronizes physiological processes with the Earth's rotation.
- The circadian clock is found in central brain neurons and nearly all peripheral tissues.
- Disruption in circadian rhythms may lead to disturbances in metabolic processes.
- Metabolic system disturbances could also impact circadian rhythms.
- Understanding the links between circadian and metabolic systems may help address sleep and metabolic disorders.
