Nuclear receptor REVERBα is a state-dependent regulator of liver energy metabolism

Abstract excerpt

Significance The circadian clock protein REVERBα is proposed to be a key regulator of liver metabolism. We now show that REVERBα action is critically dependent on metabolic state. Using transgenic mouse models, we show that the true role of REVERBα is to buffer against aberrant responses to metabolic perturbation, rather than confer rhythmic regulation to programs of lipid synthesis and storage, as has been...
