Cross-species control of daily gut bacteria cycles supports metabolic balance

Abstract

The intestinal microbiota in both mice and humans shows diurnal oscillations influenced by feeding rhythms.

  • Diurnal changes in microbiota composition and function occur throughout the day.
  • Disruption of host molecular clock components or jet lag leads to abnormal microbiota fluctuations.
  • Aberrant feeding rhythms are associated with dysbiosis in the microbiota.
  • Dysbiosis induced by jet lag contributes to glucose intolerance and obesity.
  • These metabolic disturbances can be transferred to germ-free mice through fecal transplantation.
