SUMMARY
While diet-induced obesity has been exclusively
attributed to increased caloric intake from fat,
animals fed a high-fat diet (HFD) ad libitum (ad lib)
eat frequently throughout day and night, disrupting
the normal feeding cycle. To test whether obesity
and metabolic diseases result from HFD or disrup-
tion of metabolic cycles, we subjected mice to either
ad lib or time-restricted feeding (tRF) of a HFD for 8 hr
per day. Mice under tRF consume equivalent calories
from HFD as those with ad lib access yet are pro-
tected against obesity, hyperinsulinemia, hepatic
steatosis, and inflammation and have improved
motor coordination. The tRF regimen improved
CREB, mTOR, and AMPK pathway function and
oscillations of the circadian clock and their target
genes’ expression. These changes in catabolic and
anabolic pathways altered liver metabolome and
improved nutrient utilization and energy expenditure.
We demonstrate in mice that tRF regimen is a non-
pharmacological strategy against obesity and asso-
ciated diseases.
