The impact of short-term changes in sleeping and eating patterns on glucometabolic health and gut microbiota in healthy young adults: a proof-of-concept controlled feeding study by Jiehua Chen, Ruijie Zhang, Chao Zhou, Louise Weiwei Lu, Dana Feng, Haiqiao Zou, Ran Gao, Xinying Zhang, Peiyi Chen, Jiayue Zhu, Haoxie Xu, Nina Zeng, Cijuan Zhang, Bin Liu, Mingfu Wang, Qian Ge, Caiqun Ouyang, Feng Chen

“…Notably, the incremental area under the curve (iAUC) of postprandial glucose decreased with circadian rhythm adjustments as compared to that in circadian rhythm misalignment, suggesting circadian rhythm realignment by sleep or/and diet could partly restore glucose metabolism impaired by a short-term circadian rhythm misalignment. However, circadian rhythm changes did not result in overall perturbations of gut microbiota diversities.…”
