Abstract
Circadian clock function is closely linked to metabolic homeostasis.
- Endogenous circadian clocks regulate behavior and physiology, including nutrient uptake and processing.
- Metabolic and circadian systems interact through a complex feedback network involving the central nervous system and peripheral tissues.
- Disruption of circadian rhythms may contribute to metabolic diseases.
- Metabolic processes can influence circadian clock function by affecting clock gene expression and behavioral timing.
- This review summarizes experimental evidence for the interaction between circadian clocks and metabolic regulation.
