Endogenous circadian regulation and phase resetting of clinical metabolic biomarkers.

ABSTRACT: Shiftwork and circadian disruption are associated with adverse metabolic effects. Therefore, we examined whether clinical biomarkers of metabolic health are under endogenous circadian regulation using a 40 hours constant routine protocol (CR; constant environmental and behavioral conditions) and evaluated the impact of typical daily conditions with periodic sleep and meals (baseline; 8 hours sleep at night, four meals during a 16 hour wake episode) on the phase and amplitude of these rhythms. Additionally, we tested whether these circadian rhythms are reset during simulated shiftwork. Under CR (n = 16 males, mean age ± SD = 23.4 ± 2.3 years), we found endogenous circadian rhythms in cholesterol, HDL and LDL, albumin and total protein, and VLDL and triglyceride. The rhythms were masked unde
