Summary

The goal of this application is to determine whether changing the timing of food intake prevents the adverse metabolic effects of circadian misalignment.

Detailed description

Shift work is associated with circadian misalignment and an increased risk for the development diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. This research will determine whether changing the feeding schedule can prevent metabolic alterations that can lead to the abovementioned disorders. This research will provide mechanistic insight and may provide a novel therapeutic approach against the increased risk for diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease among shift workers.
