Categories

Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the role of endogenous circadian clocks in regulating hormones, specifically adrenal glucocorticoids and metabolic peptide hormones.
Well-being: The paper suggests that modern lifestyle factors such as shiftwork or high-calorie diets can disrupt the balance of clock-hormone interaction, potentially impacting general well-being.
Shift work: The paper discusses how shift work can disrupt the balance of clock-hormone interaction, potentially impacting physiological set points.
Obesity and Weight Management: The paper discusses how disruption of circadian rhythms can lead to increased body-weight gain.
Diabetes and metabolic syndrome: The paper discusses how disruption of circadian rhythms can lead to impaired glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity.
