How gene activity regulates daily metabolic cycles in the liver

Updated

Abstract

Restoring the rhythmicity of body physiology may have important implications for human health and medicine.

  • Diurnal metabolic rhythms play a crucial role in maintaining metabolic balance in mammals.
  • Disruption of the alignment between the body clock and metabolism is linked to various health issues.
  • The integration of liver glucose metabolism and the body clock involves a network focused on PPARγ coactivator 1 (PGC-1).
  • Circadian control affects the regulation of the autophagy gene program in the liver.
