Enhancers control the expression of genes, a new study reports.
Researchers report correct coordination between our circadian clock and gut bacteria could be critical for preventing metabolic diseases.
A new study reveals a molecular process in the brain which impacts how much energy we can burn and how much weight we can lose.
Consuming drinks which are high in sugar or high-fructose corn syrup leads to memory problems and neuroinflammation in adolescent rats, a new study reports.
Mutations in a pair of genes, which normally help regulate eating scheduled and keep them in sync with daily sleep rhythms, may play a role in so called night eating syndrome.
A new study sheds light on how diet can help control seizures in those with epilepsy.
Biological mechanisms related to sleep loss affect the immune system and trigger an inflammatory response, a new study reports.
The loss of fat metabolizing protein PPARalpha in the hippocampus can lead to dementia, a new study finds.
Researchers find a key function of the neuropeptide sNPF which regulates sleep, hunger and metabolism in Drosophila.
Researchers have identified how the circadian clock helps prime mitochondria to correctly use stored energy when we are not eating.
Prader-Willi syndrome, a genetic disorder characterized by an insatiable appetite, is associated with the loss of non-coding RNAs; resulting in dysregulation of the circadian and metabolic genes.
A new study reveals how the production of p75NTR protein oscillates in time with the body's natural circadian rhythm and how these oscillations help regulate vital metabolic functions. The findings offer an insight into how circadian rhythm helps maintain the body's overall metabolic health.
