Abstract

Intestinal microbiota exhibit dietary-dependent diurnal fluctuations in composition and function under the control of host circadian rhythms.

  • The microbiome plays a crucial role in maintaining host circadian rhythms and metabolic balance.
  • There is a potential link between circadian rhythm misalignment and metabolic diseases.
  • Intervention with prebiotics or probiotics may help alleviate issues related to circadian rhythm misalignment.
  • Interactions between tea polyphenols and intestinal microbiota could influence circadian rhythms.
