DEEPLY INGRAINED. “The circadian system is involved in maintaining energy homeostasis. Approximately 10% of the mammalian transcriptome display circadian oscillations. Among the rhythmic genes identified, many have a specific role in coordinating nutrient metabolism. For example, glucose transporters and the glucagon receptor, as well as multiple enzymes involved in the metabolism of sugars and the biosynthesis of cholesterols, are rhythmically expressed.”
