A Mathematical Model of the Liver Circadian Clock Linking Feeding and Fasting Cycles to Clock Function.

Abstract excerpt

To maintain energy homeostasis despite variable energy supply and consumption along the diurnal cycle, the liver relies on a circadian clock synchronized to food timing. Perturbed feeding and fasting cycles have been associated with clock disruption and metabolic diseases; however, the mechanisms are unclear. To address this question, we have constructed a mathematical model of the mammalian circadian clock,...
