| Research Abstract |
Dysfunction of the circadian clock not only causes jet lag but also exacerbates metabolic diseases. Inadequate food intake leads to disturb circadian rhythm but little is known about the molecular mechanism of this relationship. Our study show thathepatic PERK-eIF2alpha signaling is activated by food intake and can regulate the expression of circadian factor genes. We postulate that the ER stress response could serve to link physiologic perception of the environment to the circadian oscillatory apparatus.
