“The investigators subjected 19 healthy adults (average age, 26 years) to a unique protocol that altered the participants' light exposure, desynchronizing their normal circadian rhythms and mimicking the effects of shift work.”

“Disruptions in circadian rhythm have been shown to have many negative health consequences such as increased type 2 diabetes risk and cancer risk.”

“We know that circadian rhythm regulates metabolism, hormone production, neurotransmitter production and more. This article covers another area that circadian rhythm also regulates: drug metabolism. Interesting read!”

“Circadian rhythms influence many physiological pathways associated with cancer, such as regulation of the cell cycle, cell proliferation, and inflammation. These rhythms also influence mechanisms that repair DNA damage – which can drive mutations that promote cancer.”

“Coordination of meal timing with the circadian rhythm can affect aspects of metabolic health, including glucose regulation and insulin sensitivity. The study involved 16 adults (average age, 37 years) who had overweight or obesity.”

“Humans and many other organisms have a transcription factor called CLOCK, which affects both the persistence and period of circadian rhythms. CLOCK is widely distributed in the human body, and it regulates the expression of genes in response to external cues like light and food.”

“Disruptions in circadian rhythms can lead to metabolic impairments, increasing the risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. A recent study found that personal light exposure patterns predict the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.”

“The circadian rhythm is the body’s 24-hour cycle of biological, hormonal, and behavioral patterns that, when disrupted, has profound implications for human healthspan. Findings from a recent study suggest that a single bout of exercise can reset the circadian clock in the skeletal muscles of mice.”

“Time-restricted eating, in particular, has the potential to realign the body's circadian rhythms. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick describes some of the different types of fasting and identifies the advantages associated with each.”

“Sirtuins utilize NAD+ to remove specific chemical structures called acetyl groups – a process called deacetylation – from cellular proteins to control transcriptional regulation, energy metabolism, circadian rhythms, DNA repair, and cell survival.”
