Abstract

Oleic acid (OA) restored rhythmicity in key circadian rhythm genes in stomach and jejunum explants from patients with morbid obesity.

  • Stomach explants exhibited an altered circadian rhythm in several clock genes, including CLOCK and BMAL1.
  • OA treatment led to the emergence of rhythmicity in PER1, PER2, PER3, and ghrelin in stomach explants.
  • Jejunum explants showed an altered circadian rhythm in CLOCK, BMAL1, PER1, and PER3.
  • OA restored rhythmicity in PER2, REVERBα, CRY1, and GLP1 in jejunum explants, with no effect on CRY2.
  • OA increased the amplitude of circadian rhythm genes in both stomach and jejunum explants.
