Circadian misalignment, involving sleep/wake and meal timing schedules 12 h out of phase from their habitual times resulted in elevated blood pressure and increased postprandial glucose and insulin levels. Animal models of circadian misalignment specially breakfast skipping are associated with alteration in the expression pattern of clock genes such as Clock, Bmal1, Cry1, and Per2 in the liver and fat cells. These changes resulted in a predisposition to obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). This may also explain why evening or night eating is often associated with weight gain and obesity.
