Clock gene expression in the murine gastrointestinal tract: endogenous rhythmicity and effects of a feeding regimen.

Author
Abstract
:

Based on observations that the gastrointestinal tract is subject to various 24-hour rhythmic processes, it is conceivable that some of these rhythms are under circadian clock gene control. We hypothesized that clock genes are present in the gastrointestinal tract and that they are part of a functional molecular clock that coordinates rhythmic physiologic functions.
