Background: Evidence suggests that there is some relationship between circadian clock gene variants and obesity. However, there are few examinations supporting this observation in human subjects. This study was aimed to investigate the interaction between Cry1 circadian gene polymorphism and major dietary patterns on obesity measurements.
Methods: Healthy overweight and obese women aged 18-53 years old were recruited from health centers in Tehran, Iran by a multistage cluster random sampling method ( = 377). Major dietary patterns were elicited after assessing the intake of 16 food groups using a valid and reliable 147-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Anthropometric measurements were performed for each and every participant. Body composition was analyzed using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Socio-demographic and physical activity data were also collected by a validated Farsi demographic questionnaire and the international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ). The Cry1 rs2287161 polymorphism were genotyped using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Generalized linear models were used for interaction analysis.
Results: Two major dietary patterns, including healthy and unhealthy dietary pattern (HDP and UDP, respectively) were determined using factor analysis. Our study showed a significant higher weight (P = 0.003), body mass index (BMI) (P = 0.042), hip circumference (P = 0.052), and body fat mass (P = 0.028) in carriers of C allele compared with G allele. Moreover, a significant gene-diet interaction was observed between being a carrier of C allele and BMI (P = 0.099 for CC genotype; = 0.1 for CG genotype) and fat mass (P = 0.1 for CG genotype).
Conclusions: The current study suggests a significant interaction of Cry1 rs2287161 gene polymorphisms in people following a healthy dietary pattern on BMI and fat mass among carriers of C allele compared to carriers of G allele.

The within-host environment changes over circadian time and influences the replication and severity of viruses. Genetic knockout of the circadian transcription factors CRYPTOCHROME 1 and CRYPTOCHROME 2 (/; CKO) leads to altered protein homeostasis and chronic activation of the integrated stress response (ISR). The adaptive ISR signalling pathways help restore cellular homeostasis by downregulating protein synthesis in response to endoplasmic reticulum overloading or viral infections.

This study aims to investigate the mechanism of berberine in regulating the metabolism network via clock-controlled genes represented by brain and muscle arnt-like 1(BMAL1) to ameliorate insulin resistance(IR) of hepatocytes in vitro. The HepG2 cell model of dexamethasone-induced IR(IR-HepG2) was established and treated with 5, 10, and 20 μmol·L~(-1) berberine, respectively, for 24 h. The glucose oxidase method and cell counting kit-8(CCK-8) assay were employed to measure extracellular glucose concentration and cell viability, respectively.

Ubiquitous to every stratum of life, cryptochromes regulate numerous light dependent functions in terrestrial plants. These include light-dependent transcription, circadian rhythm, inhibition of hypocotyl elongation, programmed cell death, promotion of floral initiation, mediation of gravitropic response, responding to biotic and abiotic stress etc. There have been quite a few seminal reviews including on plant cryptochromes, focusing mostly on the detailed functional aspects.

The interplay between gut microbiota and the host transcriptome is crucial for maintaining health; however, the impact of juvenile infection on these factors is still poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate their relationship and potential pathogenic mechanisms.

Article Synopsis
- Clock genes are important for the function of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and also play roles in other brain areas; their expression has been studied in various species to understand their functions better.
- This study focused on the presence of clock genes Per1, Per2, and Cry1 in neurons of the substantia nigra (SN) and subthalamic nucleus (STN) in a diurnal primate, expanding beyond research mainly done on nocturnal rodents.
- Immunohistochemistry revealed significant presence of Per1 and Per2 in the SN and both these genes in the STN, while Cry1 was not detected in the STN, highlighting the role of these genes in areas linked to motor
