Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.)

High-fat diet and fasting may disrupt daily rhythms of fat-related signals in muscle and fat tissue

Updated

Abstract

Under a low-fat diet, adiponectin signaling pathway components showed circadian rhythmicity at the mRNA levels.

  • Disruption of circadian rhythms may lead to obesity and metabolic disorders.
  • Fasting and a high-fat diet resulted in altered circadian expression patterns of adiponectin pathway components in mice.
  • Specific changes in expression levels of adiponectin receptors and metabolic regulators were observed under different dietary conditions.
  • Both PPARalpha and AMPK may play a role in mediating the disruptions in clock gene expression associated with a high-fat diet.
  • The circadian clock is linked to the daily rhythm of adiponectin signaling components.
