While scientists have known for several years that our body's internal clock helps regulate many biological processes, researchers have found that the reverse is also true: Many common biological processes -- including insulin metabolism -- regulate the clock, according to a new study. The new data suggests that someday physicians may be able to use small molecules that inhibit or stimulate these biological processes in order to influence a person's clock.
