What this trial studies

This observational study aims to explore how biological rhythms, particularly circadian rhythms, influence metabolism in humans. It focuses on the role of clock genes and their feedback loops in regulating metabolic processes in various organs, including the liver and intestine. By examining the relationship between these rhythms and metabolic disorders, the study seeks to enhance our understanding of physiological homeostasis. Participants will be monitored for their metabolic responses in relation to their biological rhythms.
