The Claim

Jiao-tai-wan administration in partially sleep-deprived rats significantly reduces body weight gain and food intake, improves insulin sensitivity, reduces systemic inflammation, and is associated with increased expression of the circadian clock genes Cry1 and Cry2 in the hypothalamus, liver, and adipose tissue, suggesting a potential role for circadian regulation in metabolic health under sleep stress.

These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.

How it works
1 study reviewed
In plain English

Giving a traditional herbal remedy called Jiao-tai-wan to sleep-deprived rats helps them gain less weight, eat less, and become more sensitive to insulin, while also calming down body-wide inflammation — and this might be because it boosts certain body clock genes in key organs.

Jiao-tai-wan administration in partially sleep-deprived rats significantly reduces body weight gain and food intake while improving insulin sensitivity and reducing systemic inflammation, which is associated with increased expression of the circadian clock genes Cry1 and Cry2 in the hypothalamus, liver, and adipose tissue, suggesting a potential role for circadian regulation in metabolic health under sleep stress.

What the research says

1 study
  1. Study: Jiao-tai-wan Up-regulates Hypothalamic and Peripheral Circadian Clock Gene Cryptochrome and Activates PI3K/AKT Signaling in Partially Sleep-deprived Rats

    This study found that a traditional herbal remedy called Jiao-tai-wan helped sleepy rats eat less, gain less weight, and become more sensitive to insulin—all because it boosted the activity of two body clock genes that help regulate metabolism.
