New roles of fats in controlling the body’s daily rhythms

Circadian Biology Weekly Brief ↗PubMed ↗DOI ↗

Updated

Abstract

Emerging evidence suggests that lipids are embedded within the core clock circuitry and may participate in circadian control.

  • Lipids are essential for various cellular functions, including energy storage and signaling.
  • Circadian clocks in mammals regulate daily physiology and metabolism.
  • Disruption of circadian rhythms is associated with altered lipid balance and conditions like fatty liver and obesity.
  • Recent advances in lipidomics have enhanced understanding of the relationship between circadian rhythms and lipid homeostasis.
  • The interplay between lipids and circadian clocks may have implications for metabolic health.
