摘要

The constant expansion of the field of metabolic research has led to more nuanced and sophisticated understanding of the complex mechanisms that underlie metabolic functions and diseases. Collaborations with scientists of various fields such as neuroscience, immunology and drug discovery have further enhanced the ability to probe the role of metabolism in physiological processes. However, many behaviours, endocrine and biochemical processes, and the expression of genes, proteins and metabolites have daily ~24-h biological rhythms and thus peak only at specific times of the day. This daily variation can lead to incorrect interpretations, lack of reproducibility across laboratories and challenges in translating preclinical studies to humans. In this Review, we discuss the biological, environmental and experimental factors affecting circadian rhythms in rodents, which can in turn alter their metabolic pathways and the outcomes of experiments. We recommend that these variables be duly considered and suggest best practices for designing, analysing and reporting metabolic experiments in a circadian context.
