NOCTURNIN Gene Diurnal Variation in Healthy Volunteers and Expression Levels in Shift Workers

Abstract excerpt

Objective. The NOCTURNIN gene links nutrient absorption and metabolism to the circadian clock. Shift workers are at a heightened risk of overweight and of developing obesity and metabolic syndrome. This study investigates the diurnal variation of NOCTURNIN in healthy volunteers and its expression levels in rotational shift and daytime workers. Methods.
