Loss of temporal coherence in the circadian metabolome across multiple tissues during ageing in mice.

Circadian clock function declines with ageing, which can aggravate ageing-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders. Understanding age-related changes in the circadian system at a systemic level can contribute to the development of strategies to promote healthy ageing. The goal of this study was to investigate the impact of ageing on 24-h rhythms in amine metabolites across four tissues in young (2 months of age) and old (22-25 months of age) mice using a targeted metabolomics approach.
