Association of circadian rhythm and related genes with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

The association between circadian rhythm and metabolic diseases has attracted more and more attention in recent years. A large number of clinical studies have shown that people who often stay up late or work in shifts have a significantly higher risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease than those with regular work and rest. Based on current research findings, this article reviews the mechanism of action of circadian rhythm genes in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease from the five aspects of lipid metabolism, glucose metabolism, intestinal flora, oxidative stress, and endoplasmic reticulum stress.
