Circadian clock gates diurnal glucose utilization

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: The circadian clock and cellular metabolism are tightly coupled to maintain homeostasis. A new study in PLOS Biology leverages metabolic tracing to reveal time-of-day-dependent activities of glucose metabolic pathways in Drosophila that are disrupted in clock and sleep mutants.
