Cooperation between muscle and liver circadian clocks, key to controlling glucose metabolism
An international study on the effect of circadian clocks in different tissues shows that there is a minimal network required for the control of glucose levels in the body. This finding has clear implications for diabetes and other age-related diseases. Collaborative work by teams at the Department of Medicine and Life Sciences ( MELIS ) at Pompeu Fabra University (UPF), University of California, Irvine (UCI), and the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona) has shown that interplay between circadian clocks in liver and skeletal muscle controls glucose metabolism.
