Targeting the intestinal circadian clock by meal timing ameliorates gastrointestinal inflammation

Abstract excerpt

Abstract The expression of clock genes has been observed to be impaired in biopsies from patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Disruption of circadian rhythms, which occurs in shift workers, has been linked to an increased risk of gastrointestinal diseases, including IBD. The peripheral circadian clock in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) was previously shown to balance gastrointestinal homeostasis by...
