- Time-restricted eating (for 6h) improves insulin sensitivity, beta cell function, blood pressure, oxidative stress and reduces evening appetite. Results from Courtney Peterson's lab at UAB. @Cell_Metabolism cell.com/cell-metabolis…
- Does some people’s brain chemistry cause them to want high-sugar/high-fat foods, or do those foods alter people’s brain chemistry to make them want it? This study, with 49 normal-weight participants (23 in HS/HF group), suggests the latter.

- Mitochondria are typically thought of as the powerhouse of the cell. But they also play key roles in tuning inflammation. Great review in @NatRevImmunol nature.com/articles/s4157…

- Time-Restricted eating can be combined with high-intensity interval training to improve health and blood glucose regulation among women with overweight/obesity. @trinemoholdt @JohnAHawley @K_LaHaganes cell.com/cell-metabolis…
- Just like many moving parts in your car decide gas mileage, clocks in different organs set our blood glucose dynamics. Nice review on Circadian control of insulin and glucose in @NatureRevEndo nature.com/articles/s4157…
