Circadian Synchrony of Insulin and Intake Patterns: Towards A Rational Anti- Obesity Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
This editorial seeks to develop and a global anti-obesity theory based on circadian patterns of insulin-mediated appetite regulation. Insulin is globally known as the storage hormone because it stimulates glucose entry into the peripheral fat and muscle cells [1,2]. Ruminants serve as suitable sophisticated models to therapeutically study human endocrinology and metabolism. Much less glucose crosses into the portal vein in ruminants compared to non-ruminants. In consequence, insulin would not have as significant impacts on hepatic glucose metabolism in ruminants as it would in non-ruminants [1,7].

Anti-obesity and Anorectic Effects of Saffron and its Constituent Crocin in Obese Wistar Rat
Background: Obesity is pandemic worldwide and a strong risk factor for cardio-metabolic disorders. The few approved anti-obesity drugs have poor efficacy and safety profile. Thus, there is an urgent need for new anti-obesity agents. According to the traditional medicine and a clinical trial, saffron may have anorexigenic and anti-obesity effects which need further investigation. Objectives: Ev...

Background and Objective: Recent studies have shown a relationship between energy regulation and the circadian rhythm at behavioral, molecular, and physiological levels. The present study investigated the effect of chronotype on meal timing and obesity in Iranian housewives. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out using a convenience-sampling method through the partic...
متن کاملMatching Meals to Body Clocks—Impact on Weight and Glucose Metabolism
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes continues to rise worldwide and is reaching pandemic proportions. The notion that this is due to obesity, resulting from excessive energy consumption and reduced physical activity, is overly simplistic. Circadian de-synchrony, which occurs when physiological processes are at odds with timing imposed by internal clocks, also promotes obesity and impairs glucose ...

Close ties have been made among certain nutrients, obesity, type 2 diabetes and circadian clocks. Among nutrients, taurine has been documented as being effective against obesity and type 2 diabetes. However, the impact of taurine on circadian clocks has not been elucidated. We investigated whether taurine can modulate or correct disturbances in daily rhythms caused by a high-fat diet in mice. M...

Obesity has become a serious public health problem and a major risk factor for the development of illnesses, such as insulin resistance and hypertension. Attempts to understand the causes of obesity and develop new therapeutic strategies have mostly focused on caloric intake and energy expenditure. Recent studies have shown that the circadian clock controls energy homeostasis by regulating the ...
