Descripción
Plasma glucose concentrations during constant routine conditions show a significant reduction after participants experienced delayed meal times, indicating that meal scheduling influences circadian glucose regulation.

Figure 3
Hormonal response profiles to standardized meals are compared between normal and delayed meal timing conditions, revealing shifts in metabolic hormone rhythms.

Figure 4
Average plasma glucose concentration under constant routine conditions is reduced following a 5-hour delay in meal times, suggesting meal timing significantly influences glucose metabolism rhythms.

Figure 5
Core body temperature rhythms are displayed across experimental conditions, demonstrating that meal timing shifts selectively affect peripheral but not central circadian markers.

Figure 7
Clock gene expression patterns in adipose tissue are compared between the two meal timing conditions, revealing tissue-specific circadian phase shifts.

Figure 8
Per2 and other clock gene transcript levels measured from peripheral blood samples demonstrate delayed phase alignment consistent with the shifted meal schedule.
