How daily body clocks may influence metabolism through timed eating, gut bacteria, and detailed biological analysis

Updated

Abstract

Circadian dysfunction and metabolic disorders may be improved through time-restricted eating (TRE).

  • Circadian rhythms are essential for coordinating metabolism in most organisms.
  • Genetic disruptions and misalignment of circadian rhythms can lead to metabolic disorders.
  • Time-restricted eating (TRE) influences peripheral circadian clocks independent of light exposure.
  • TRE may enhance metabolic health by reprogramming gene activity and metabolic processes in various tissues.
  • The intestinal microbiota could play a role in the effects of TRE on circadian and metabolic health.
  • Omics technology helps visualize the regulatory processes involved in circadian metabolism.
