What does it mean when the circadian lipid rhythm goes wrong?

Like all living things, human physiological processes are also influenced by circadian rhythms

Lipids have a variety of cellular functions

A complex in vitro human molecular clock model

Langerhans Island is a population of different types of endocrine cells located in the pancreas that is primarily responsible for the secretion of insulin and glucagon, which are hormones

In living organisms, the central clock in the brain coordinates the peripheral clocks in all organ cells according to external stimuli

Membrane hardening

Comparing islets in people with type 2 diabetes with healthy people found that blood lipids fluctuated much

In addition, the scientists also observed a particularly large change in the temporal distribution of phospholipids and sphingomyelins, which are the main components

Promoting lifestyle changes?

This work is the first to establish a direct link
