Summary

This study looked at how overeating at different times of day affects inflammation and metabolism in 16 healthy adults. Researchers measured hundreds of markers in the blood to see if eating more calories in the evening is worse for the body than eating them earlier. The goal is to better understand the biological effects of overeating and timing, which could lead to new ways to prevent related health problems.
