Body's Internal Clock Regulates Energy Use Through Protein Control

Scientists discovered that a single protein (NAMPT) acts as the master switch controlling how different tissues burn energy throughout the day. The finding could unlock new approaches to treating metabolic disorders like obesity and diabetes, and may reshape how pharmaceutical companies develop circadian-targeted therapeutics.
