Research Abstract |
We studied the role of crosstalk between carbohydrate-responsive element-binding protein (ChREBP) and clock-related genes (Klf-10 and Ppara) in the development of metabolic syndrome. Use of the feedback loop between ChREBP and clock-related genes is a common method for regulating both metabolic pathways and the circadian rhythm. Considering disorders in both metabolism and circadian rhythm coexist in metabolic syndrome, suppression of ChREBP transactivities will be beneficial in preventing metabolic syndrome.
