<h4>Background</h4>Intermittent fasting and time-restricted diets are associated with lower risk biomarkers for cardio-metabolic disease. The shared mechanisms underpinning the similar physiological response to these events is not established, but circadian rhythm could be involved. Here we investigated the transcriptional response to fasting in a large cross-sectional study of adipose and skin tissue from healthy volunteers (N = 625) controlling for confounders of circadian rhythm: time of day ...[more]
