Abstract The Metabolic Syndrome is a cluster of cardio‐metabolic risk factors and
comorbidities conveying high risk of both cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. It is …

Levels of numerous hormones vary across the day and night. Such fluctuations are not only
attributable to changes in sleep/wakefulness and other behaviors but also to a circadian …

Night work increases diabetes risk. Misalignment between the central circadian “clock” and
daily behaviors, typical in night workers, impairs glucose tolerance, likely due to internal …

Objective: Despite the extended overnight fast, paradoxically, people are typically not
ravenous in the morning and breakfast is typically the smallest meal of the day. We …

Circadian rhythm disturbances are observed in, eg, aging and neurodegenerative diseases
and are associated with an increased incidence of obesity and diabetes. We subjected male …

It has been well established that the circadian clock plays a crucial role in the regulation of
almost every physiological process. It also plays a critical role in pathophysiological states …

Featured Application This review summarizes current knowledge regarding the effects of
physical activity on the robustness of the circadian system and the benefits for health …

The mammalian circadian system synchronizes daily timing of activity and rest with the
environmental light–dark cycle. Although the underlying molecular oscillatory mechanism is …

The environment which living organisms inhabit is not constant and many factors, such as
light, temperature, and food availability, display cyclic and predictable variations. To adapt to …

Light is an essential part of many life forms. The natural light–dark cycle has been the
dominant stimulus for circadian rhythms throughout human evolution. Artificial light has …
