High-fat diet quickly changes daily body rhythms and eating habits

Circadian Biology Weekly Brief ↗PubMed ↗DOI ↗

Updated

Abstract

The phase of the liver rhythm was advanced by 5 hours after 1 week of a high-fat diet in mice.

  • Chronic consumption of a high-fat diet alters circadian rhythms in mammals.
  • The daily rhythm of eating behavior changed immediately upon starting the high-fat diet.
  • Other tissues' rhythms were not significantly affected after 1 week of the diet.
  • The suprachiasmatic nucleus, a key brain region for circadian control, did not show changes in rhythm after the diet.
