CLOCK MALFUNCTIONS. “Mice harboring mutations in various components of the circadian clock are susceptible to obesity and metabolic syndrome. Clock mutant mice on a BALB/c and C57BL/6J background are susceptible to diet-induced obesity. Clock mutants display profound changes in circadian rhythmicity as well as disruptions in diurnal food intake and increased body mass.”
