Nutrition influences metabolism through circadian rhythms, UCI study finds

Irvine, Calif., Dec. 19, 2013 — A high-fat diet affects the molecular mechanism controlling the internal body clock that regulates metabolic functions in the liver, UC Irvine scientists have found. Disruption of these circadian rhythms may contribute to metabolic distress ailments, such as diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure. There’s good news, though. The researchers also […]
