Night Hormone's secret role in diabetes risk revealed
NCT ID NCT02642640
Summary
This research study aimed to understand how melatonin (the 'sleep hormone') and a specific gene called MTNR1B work together to control blood sugar levels. Researchers studied 23 healthy adults in a controlled laboratory setting, measuring how different melatonin levels affected their body's ability to process sugar. The findings could help explain why night shift workers and late-night eaters might have different risks for developing blood sugar problems.
