Summary
This study looked at how daily rhythms—like sleep and meal timing—affect fat cell genes and insulin response in 28 women with obesity scheduled for bariatric surgery. Researchers used timed lights and meals to align or disrupt the body's internal clock, then measured changes in fat cell function. The goal was to understand how these rhythms influence metabolism before and after surgery.
