On time metabolism

Abstract: In mammals, molecular clocks regulate transcription and glucose homeostasis. One way they do so is by controlling glucocorticoid-receptor signalling, which suggests that clocks are embedded in liver metabolism.

“…Circadian rhythms are ~24-h cycles of physiologic processes, allowing organisms to synchronize with their environment (16, 51, 52). The circadian feedback loop is located in various tissues throughout the body known as peripheral clocks, which are entrained by the suprachiasmatic nucleus as well as various other factors including nutrients, hormones, and body temperature (1, 8, 14, 21, 44). Studies in mice have suggested that the liver, pancreas, skeletal muscle, kidneys, and small intestine all have peripheral circadian clocks (9, 1720, 30, 39, 45, 55).…”

“…In addition to daily and monthly rhythms, the normal range for the human heartbeat is 60–100/min, [3] the respiratory rate is 12–20/min, gastric peristalsis occurs 3 times per min, [4,5] and neural oscillations have frequencies of 0.5–35 Hz [6] . Abnormal frequencies of circadian rhythms are associated with many mental and metabolic diseases, [7] including bipolar disorder, [8] anxiety, [9] depression, [10] schizophrenia, [11] sleep disorders, [12] diabetes, obesity and atherosclerosis [13,14] . Drugs to treat such dynamical diseases include domperidone, which stimulates gastric muscle contraction by antagonizing the inhibitory effect of dopamine on intermuscular neurons, increasing the amplitude and frequency of gastric antrum and duodenal peristalsis, thereby accelerating the rate of gastric solid‐liquid emptying [15] .…”

“…What is striking about the majority of circadian mutant mouse lines is that in most cases they exhibit strong metabolic phenotypes (8), for example, the Rev-Erba/b and also Cry1/2 homozygous double knockout mice (16,132), and the Bmal1 -/ -knockout mouse (12) all exhibit profoundly disordered rhythms in behavior and dyslipidemia and impaired glucose homeostasis (8,76,86), with the latter being a model for the b-cell dysfunction, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes (86). This is frequently interpreted to mean that rhythmic cycling of the transcriptional ''core clock gene'' circuitry is essential for metabolic homeostasis.…”
