How Internal Clocks Control Fat Metabolism
09/11/2023![In the fruit fly Drosophila, a central circadian clock in the brain controls important parameters such as daily activity or food intake. Peripheral clocks receive timing signals via further pathways, and act as clocks for various metabolic processes. If the clocks chronically get out of sync, this can trigger diseases.](/fileadmin/_processed_/b/c/csm_0911wegener-lipid-research-EN_bc15778d36.jpg)
In the fruit fly Drosophila, circadian clocks also control fat metabolism. This is shown in a new study by a research team at the University of Würzburg. The findings could also be relevant for humans.
