The circadian protein under investigation, called REV-ERBα, helps regulate the body's daily rhythms of metabolism and inflammation.

Big predators like lions and polar bears can afford to pursue large, energy-rich prey because their slower metabolism and greater energy stores let them endure repeated failed hunts.

A research team at the University of Tsukuba turned its attention to a molecule called CtBP2 while studying the biological links between obesity and metabolism.

Researchers say the results highlight how individual metabolism plays a crucial role in protecting against cardiovascular disease.

“So here, it’s all about building skeletal muscle mass — which helps with metabolism, bone density, regulating hormones, everything — and getting your back and posture strong so you can support yourself.”
