[30] Role of Circadian Rhythms in Thermogenesis Flashcards

1
Q

What are circadian rhythms?

A

Circadian rhythms are natural, internal processes that regulate the sleep-wake cycle and repeat roughly every 24 hours.

Q

How are circadian rhythms related to thermogenesis?

A

Circadian rhythms can influence thermogenesis by causing fluctuations in metabolic rate and body temperature over a 24-hour period.

Q

How does the time of day affect thermogenesis?

A

The time of day, regulated by circadian rhythms, can affect thermogenesis, with body temperature and metabolic rate typically being higher during daylight hours.
