Abstract

While accumulating evidence suggests that circadian desynchrony is linked to obesity and metabolic syndrome, the underlining mechanism is still poorly understood. In this issue, Kettner et al. (2015) demonstrate that leptin resistance, induced by circadian clock deficiency or chronic jet lag, may represent this missing link.
