Abstract

The circadian clock is one of the most conserved systems in mammals. It is an important regulator of many biological processes, such as the sleep-wake cycle, hormone secretion, and body temperature, which can influence both cellular and organ-level metabolic functioning. At the molecular level, the circadian system consists of autoregulatory feedback loop that dictates the timing of behavioral and physiological processes. This molecular clock is persistent in all of the central and peripheral tissues. Metabolism can also affect the circadian clock via feeding, or by metabolites which expression is controlled by food intake. Therefore, the current chapter emphasizes the cross-talk between the circadian system and metabolism at the molecular level, and its physiological outcome.
