Description
Vanessa Leone, Ph.D. Department of Medicine - Gastroenterology, University of Chicago. Circadian rhythm influences health and metabolism. The gut microbiota exhibits diurnal oscillations in composition and metabolite production that are driven by diet and associated with the host circadian rhythm. Diet-induced dysbiosis disturbs the balance between microbe and host circadian networks, affecting metabolism and obesity.
