The Claim
Daytime restricted feeding in male C57BL/6 mice disrupts the circadian rhythm of hepatic genes regulating lipid metabolism (Hsl, Fas, Acc, Srebp-1c) and bile acid synthesis (Cyp7a1, Cyp7b1, Cyp8b1, Lrh-1, Shp), leading to desynchronization between circadian clocks and metabolic processes.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In male C57BL/6 mice, feeding only during daytime alters the daily timing of liver gene activity involved in fat processing and bile acid production, causing a mismatch between the body's internal clock and metabolic functions.

Daytime restricted feeding in male C57BL/6 mice disrupts the circadian rhythm of hepatic genes regulating lipid metabolism (Hsl, Fas, Acc, Srebp-1c) and bile acid synthesis (Cyp7a1, Cyp7b1, Cyp8b1, Lrh-1, Shp), leading to desynchronization between circadian clocks and metabolic processes.
When mice eat during their normal sleep time, their liver receives food signals at the wrong hour, confusing its internal clock. This causes the liver to turn fat and bile acid genes on and off at the wrong times. Changes in gut bacteria further alter bile acids in a way that worsens the timing mismatch, so fat processing and bile production no longer match the body’s daily rhythm.
What the research says
1 studyWhen male mice eat during their normal sleep time, their liver’s internal clock gets confused and stops properly timing the genes that manage fat and bile acid production, causing their metabolism to fall out of sync with their body’s natural rhythm.
