“…Meule et al (2012) proposed that the biochemical rhythm of appetite-regulating peptides (leptin and ghrelin) might be underlying this behaviour, since the evening chronotype has a more delayed release of ghrelin and leptin than morning chronotypes [30]. The findings from recent research have added to the mounting evidence supporting the connection between chronotype and breakfast [59,60]. A genetic study was conducted among 53 pairs of female twins in order to examine the impact of genetic heritability on meal times [59].…”

Chronotype reflects an individual’s preferred time of the day for an activity/rest cycle and individuals can be classified as a morning, intermediate, or evening type. A growing number of studies have examined the relationship between chronotype and general health. This review aimed to map current evidence of the association between chronotype and dietary intake among the adult population. A systematic search was conducted across five databases: EBSCO Host, Medline & Ovid, Pubmed, Scopus, and The Cochrane Library. The inclusion criteria were adult subjects (more than 18 years old), and included an assessment of (i) chronotype, (ii) dietary behaviour/nutrient intake/food group intake, and (iii) an analysis of the association between chronotype and dietary behaviour/nutrient intake/food group intake. A total of 36 studies were included in the review. This review incorporated studies from various study designs, however, the majority of these studies were based on a cross-sectional design (n = 29). Dietary outcomes were categorized into three main groups, namely dietary behaviour, nutrient intake, and specific food group intake. This scoping review demonstrates that evening-type individuals are mostly engaged with unhealthy dietary habits related to obesity and were thus hampered in the case of weight loss interventions. Hence, this review has identified several dietary aspects that can be addressed in the development of a personalised chrono-nutrition weight loss intervention.

“…In humans, genetic influences (heritability) appear to account for a significant proportion. For example, 56% of the variability in food timing, particularly breakfast (32), and 68% of sleep timing on free days (33). An even higher heritability was found in great tits (Parus major), with h 2 of 0.86 ± 0.24 (14).…”

While the molecular mechanisms underlying variation in chronotypes within populations have been studied extensively, the ultimate selective forces governing it are poorly understood. The proximate cause is variation in clock genes and protein expression, which produces variation in tau (period length of the circadian clock), with early individuals having shorter tau. We studied within-population variation in foraging activity times of two Acomys species in the field. This variation manifested in a regular and consistent sequence of individual foraging activity that is positively and strongly correlated with variation in tau. Thus, variation in circadian clock period length (tau) appears to be the mechanism underlying the regular pattern of intraspecific temporal partitioning. Late chronotypes also spent more time torpid than earlier ones, suggesting an energetic cost to this strategy and possible tradeoffs. We suggest that variation in tau is an adaptive mechanism to reduce competition between individuals within a population.

This review aims to summarize the knowledge about the relationship between circadian rhythms and their influence on the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and metabolic syndrome. Circadian rhythms are controlled by internal molecular feedback loops that synchronize the organism with the external environment. These loops are affected by genetic and epigenetic factors. Genetic factors include polymorphisms and mutations of circadian genes. The expression of circadian genes is regulated by epigenetic mechanisms that change from prenatal development to old age. Epigenetic modifications are influenced by the external environment. Most of these modifications are affected by our own life style. Irregular circadian rhythm and low quality of sleep have been shown to increase the risk of developing T2DM and other metabolic disorders. Here, we attempt to provide a wide description of mutual relationships between epigenetic regulation, circadian rhythm, aging process and highlight new evidences that show possible therapeutic advance in the field of chrono-medicine which will be more important in the upcoming years.
