Abstract
The circadian system has an important impact on metabolic disturbances and vice versa. Although the precise mechanism linking the MetS to chronodisruption is not well known, hypotheses point to the internal desynchronization between different circadian rhythms. The novelty of this area of research is contributing to the development of new and intriguing studies, particularly those focused on the association between different clock genes polymorphisms and MetS traits.
