A molecular switch syncs fat-burning to the body clock, our diet and the...
A protein in the brown fat of mice sits at the intersection of three metabolic controls: the body's 24-hour clock, the temperature outside, and our diet. The discovery helps explain how the body can keep a daily rhythm of energy metabolism, and still respond the moment its energy needs change. The discovery by the Gerhart-Hines Group from the NNF Center for Basic Metabolic Research at the University of Copenhagen and their international collaborators was published in Science.
