Stress hormone timing creates a different kind of obesity, study suggests

Obesity caused by disrupted stress-hormone rhythms is metabolically precise antithetic from obesity caused by a high-fat diet, according to a caller preclinical survey by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators. The researchers recovered successful mice that glucocorticoid-rhythm disruption concentrates insulin absorption successful skeletal musculus portion preserving cardinal insulin responses successful abdominous insubstantial and liver. This allows abdominous insubstantial to proceed storing lipids, portion the liver remains mostly protected from the abdominous accumulation typically seen with high-fat-diet obesity.
