Molecular clocks, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease

Abstract: T he westernised world is in the midst of an epidemic of type 2 diabetes and associated cardiovascular disease. These closely interlinked conditions have a common pathophysiological basis underpinned by insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome. Contemporary changes in environmental factors on a background of genetic susceptibility are thought to account for the increases seen. Life on earth is governed by the 24-hour environment of light and darkness cycling with the rotation of the earth. Numerous metabo… Show more

“…There are now many indications that the circadian clock plays a major role in the development of type 2 diabetes (27)(28)(29)(30). To our knowledge it is the first time when diurnal preference was assessed in diabetic patients as a marker of the circadian timing.…”

“…The elegant work of Radziuk and Pye (28) provided a deeper and fascinating insight with the hypothesis that the observed diurnal temporal pattern in EGP might result from factors counteracting insulin action and triggered by the brain through central regulatory pathways. Nowadays, the concept of diurnal rhythmicity in insulin sensitivity finds novel relevance in light of the more extensive concept of a "molecular clock," which has been shown to regulate the expression and function of a variety of enzymes, transport systems, and nuclear receptors involved in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism (36)(37)(38).…”

“…Circadian rhythms are maintained by internal clocks and mediate physiology and metabolism in plants and animals (McClung, 2006;Wijnen and Young, 2006;Bass and Takahashi, 2010;Chen, 2010). In humans, energy intake and metabolism have a diurnal rhythm, and disturbance of the circadian rhythms leads to pathogenesis, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases (Prasai et al, 2008;Bass and Takahashi, 2010). clock2/2 mutant mice lacking a diurnal feeding rhythm are hyperphagic and obese and develop a series of metabolic syndromes (Turek et al, 2005).…”
