چکیده

Circadian rhythms are integral to the normal functioning of numerous physiological processes. Evidence from human and mouse studies suggests that loss of rhythm occurs in obesity and cardiovascular disease and may be a neglected contributor to pathophysiology. Obesity has been shown to impair the circadian clock mechanism in liver and adipose tissue but its effect on cardiovascular tissues is unknown. We investigated the effect of diet-induced obesity in C57BL6J mice upon rhythmic transcription of clock genes and diurnal variation in vascular and metabolic systems. In obesity, clock gene function and physiological rhythms were preserved in the vasculature but clock gene transcription in metabolic tissues and rhythms of glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity were blunted. The most pronounced attenuation of clock rhythm occurred in adipose tissue, where there was also impairment of clock-controlled master metabolic genes and both AMPK mRNA and protein. Across tissues, clock gene disruption was associated with local inflammation but diverged from impairment of insulin signaling. We conclude that vascular tissues are less sensitive to pathological disruption of diurnal rhythms during obesity than metabolic tissues and suggest that cellular disruption of clock gene rhythmicity may occur by mechanisms shared with inflammation but distinct from those leading to insulin resistance.

In This Issue of Diabetes

Data in this issue of Diabetes (p. 1981) show differences in the sensitivity of vascular and metabolic tissues to obesity-related loss of diurnal variation. It has been demonstrated in transgenic mouse models that mutation of core clock genes can lead to obesity, and diet-induced obesity (DIO) in wild-type mice has been shown to lead to secondary blunting of rhythmic clock gene transcription in...

Dietary Proteins, Developmental Programming, and Potential Implication in Maternal Obesity

Background: Proteins are known mainly based on their metabolic and nutritional functions including protein synthesis and a source of energy. In spite of various physiological properties attributed to proteins, their functions have neither been addressed by assessing quality of proteins nor by nutrition and dietetic practices. Methods: Studies were included if they were randomized animal studies...

Disrupting Rhythms: Diet-Induced Obesity Impairs Diurnal Rhythms in Metabolic Tissues

Circadian rhythms are essential processes that coordinate the timing of basic organismal functions at the molecular, cellular, and behavioral levels. Oscillations are generated by the core molecular clock, which is composed of transcriptional activators (such as Bmal1 and Clock) and repressors (such as the Period gene family). These activators are present in many types of central and peripheral...
