Effect of Abnormal food consumption and alcohol intake on the bone
Abstract
As seen in Faraz Bishehsari’s study, abnormal timing for food consumption and alcohol intake cause and exacerbate peripheral circadian rhythms. As a result of eating during resting periods, also known as wrong time eating, the mice which Bishehsari experimented on developed leaky gut. The addition of alcohol to the mice’s diet worsened the leaky gut. The occurrence of abnormal timing for food consumption can be seen in shift workers who eat their meals during the night due to their work schedule. This experiment was designed to analyze if abnormal timing for food consumption and alcohol intake are deleterious to bone health and if so, how much. The skeletal sites are only found within the distal femur and axial skeleton so these bones were removed from the mice post mortem to determine how bone densitwas affected. The distal femur and axial skeleton will be compared when the data is gathered to determine whether they differ in bone density as a result of mice’s abnormal time of eating and alcohol consumption. A negative change in bone density is apparent within the distal femur.
