Research suggests that individual genetic makeup could influence not just how the body handles fat, but when it does so. @dongyinguan.bsky.social, Y Chen, D Zhou et al. @cp-cellmetabolism.bsky.social @bcmhouston.bsky.social #BCMDeptMedicine #BCMCancerCenter #BCMPostdoc blogs.bcm.edu/2025/09/02/f...
It's not only genes, gene-diet interactions also regulate circadian rhythms
The findings show that diet interacts with an individual’s genetic makeup, influencing daily patterns of gene activity in the liver, especially those related to fat metabolism.
