Canadian researchers find link between circadian genetics, obesity risk in children
Snippet from CTV News Article on GFHS work
According to researchers from the University of Guelph’s “Guelph Family Health Study” (GFHS), clock genes are a subset of circadian rhythm-related genes that control what occurs inside a cell and operate on a 24-hour schedule. In their study published in the Nutrients journal in June, they discovered that certain gene variations linked with sleep may boost the number of calories consumed.
