Effects of circadian restricted feeding on parameters of metabolic syndrome among healthy subjects.

Effects of circadian restricted feeding on parameters of metabolic syndrome among healthy subjects. Chronobiol Int. 2019 Dec 17;:1-8 Authors: Singh RB, Cornelissen G, Mojto V, Fatima G, Wichansawakun S, Singh M, Kartikey K, Sharma JP, Torshin VI, Chibisov S, Kharlitskaya E, Al-Bawareed OA Abstract Experimental studies indicate that energy homeostasis to the circadian clock at the behavioral, physiological, and molecular levels, emphasize that timing of food intake may play a significant role in the development of obesity and central obesity. Therefore, resetting the circadian clock by circadian energy restriction via food intake in the morning or evening, may be used as a new approach for prevention of obesity, metabolic syndrome and related diseases. After ethical clearance and written, informed consent, free living subjects were included if they volunteered to take most of the total daily meals (approximately 2000 Kcal./day) in the evening (4 weeks) or morning (4 weeks). Of 22 adults, half were randomly selected by computer generated numbers to eat in the morning and the other half in the evening, after 8.00 PM. The eating pattern was changed after 4 weeks of intervention and a 4-week washout period, those who ate in the morning were advised to eat in the evening and vice versa. Validated questionnaires were used to assess food intakes, physical activity, and intake of alcohol and tobacco. Physical examination included measurement ...
