Estradiol controls daily body rhythms linked to diet-related obesity in female mice

Abstract

Ovariectomized female mice with undetectable circulating estrogens became obese and displayed disrupted daily rhythms when fed a high-fat diet.

  • Estradiol is associated with the regulation of circadian rhythms in females, contributing to their resistance to diet-induced obesity.
  • High-fat diet feeding in ovariectomized females resulted in altered liver molecular circadian rhythms.
  • Restoring estradiol levels in ovariectomized females fed a high-fat diet improved their eating behavior and activity patterns.
  • Time-restricted feeding in ovariectomized females helped maintain daily eating rhythms and reduced obesity and insulin resistance.
