Liver-Brain Communication: The Secret to Balanced Eating Cycles
A study from the University of Pennsylvania reveals that liver-brain communication, particularly involving the protein REV-ERB, plays a crucial role in regulating eating patterns aligned with circadian rhythms. Disruptions in this communication, common in night shift workers, can lead to overeating and metabolic issues. The research suggests that targeting these liver-brain signals could offer new therapies for managing weight and metabolic disorders in individuals with irregular schedules.
