| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recent studies have indicated that disrupted circadian clocks in peripheral tissues (peripheral clocks) are associated with the pathophysiology of lifestyle-related metabolic diseases including type 2 diabetes. To develop a strategy targeting peripheral clocks for treatment/prevention of metabolic diseases, whether exenatide could affect the rhythms of peripheral clocks was investigated in mice, and we found that exenatide modulates peripheral clocks more strongly than feeding. In addition, we evaluated the impact of peripheral clock in the liver and revealed that hepatic clock directly regulates the daily fasting blood glucose rhythm.
