The circadian disruption of night work alters gut microbiota consistent with elevated risk for future metabolic and gastrointestinal pathology

Abstract excerpt

Day and night cycles are the most important cue for the central clock of human beings, and they are also important for the gut clock. The aim of the study is to determine the differences in the gut microbiota of rotational shift workers when working the day versus night shift. Fecal samples and other data were collected from 10 volunteer male security officers after 4 weeks of day shift work (07:00–15:00 h) and...
