High-fat diet disrupts behavioral and molecular circadian rhythms in mice.

TL;DR: It is shown that a high-fat diet in mice leads to changes in the period of the locomotor activity rhythm and alterations in the expression and cycling of canonical circadian clock genes, nuclear receptors that regulate clock transcription factors, and clock-controlled genes involved in fuel utilization in the hypothalamus, liver, and adipose tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI

Circadian Clock Feedback Cycle Through NAMPT-Mediated NAD+ Biosynthesis

TL;DR: It is reported that both the rate-limiting enzyme in mammalian Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) biosynthesis, nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), and levels of NAD+ display circadian oscillations that are regulated by the core clock machinery in mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Circadian rhythms, sleep, and metabolism

TL;DR: How investigation of molecular timing may create new opportunities to understand and develop therapies for obesity and diabetes is evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Circadian Clock NAD+ Cycle Drives Mitochondrial Oxidative Metabolism in Mice

TL;DR: The results show that the circadian clock generates oscillations in mitochondrial oxidative capacity through rhythmic regulation of NAD+ biosynthesis, and facilitates oxidative rhythms that correspond with the fasting-feeding cycle to maximize energy production during rest.
