Abstract

The circadian system orchestrates the temporal organization of many aspects of physiology, including metabolism, in synchrony with the 24 hr rotation of the Earth. Like the metabolic system, the circadian system is a complex feedback network that involves interactions between the central nervous system and peripheral tissues. Emerging evidence suggests that circadian regulation is intimately linked to metabolic homeostasis and that dysregulation of circadian rhythms can contribute to disease. Conversely, metabolic signals also feed back into the circadian system, modulating circadian gene expression and behavior. Here, we review the relationship between the circadian and metabolic systems and the implications for cardiovascular disease, obesity, and diabetes.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The term chrono-nutrition was introduced in 1986 by Delabois but was not much used beyond its application in weight loss diets.

    “The term chrono-nutrition was introduced in 1986 by Delabois (10) but was not much used beyond its application in weight loss diets.”
  • Each endpoint was adjusted for age and regularly updated information on alcohol consumption, physical exercise, multivitamin use, menopausal status and postmenopausal hormone use, physical examination in the past 2 years, healthy eating score, smoking status, pack-years, and BMI.

    “Each endpoint was adjusted for age and regularly updated information throughout follow-up on: alcohol consumption, physical exercise, multivitamin use, menopausal status and postmenopausal hormone use, physical examination in the past 2 years, healthy eating score37 (without components of multivitamin and alcohol, which were adjusted individually), smoking status, pack-years, and BMI.”
  • The circadian system and its prime marker, melatonin, are considered to have antitumor effects through multiple pathways, including antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory effects, and immune enhancement.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
