Outline of Final Research Achievements

The high-fat diet is known to bring obesity. In late years a high-fat diet disturbed the expression of clock-genes in the peripheral organizations such as liver, and it has been reported that it induced to the obesity. Exercise is expected for normalization of this disorder related obesity. In this study, it was intended that examined the influence that a high-fat diet and exercise related to the expression of clock-genes. As a result, exercise improved the weight of high-fat diet-induced obese rat. It was guessed that the effect was affected by the expression of clock-genes related to control of in vivo circadian rhythm.
