Disrupted Body Clocks, Fat Tissue Metabolism, and Inflammation Control

Abstract

Circadian rhythm disruptions are associated with metabolic disturbances, including overweight and type-2 diabetes.

  • Molecular circadian clocks synchronize daily behaviors and metabolism with the day-night cycle.
  • Disruptions in circadian rhythms can lead to systemic low-grade inflammation, particularly in fat tissues.
  • Genetic disruptions of circadian clocks in rodents result in metabolic issues similar to those seen in shift workers.
  • Single-tissue circadian clocks play a crucial role in regulating metabolism.
  • Behavioral interventions may help mitigate the negative metabolic effects of disrupted circadian rhythms.
