On the other hand, pregnancy activates metabolic programming and tissue regenerative responses that can reverse age-related impairments.

Herein we review how circadian clocks drive balanced rhythmic metabolism which in turn governs physiological functions of locomotor, immune, and neuroendocrine systems. Misaligned metabolic rhythms cause pathological states which further drive cancer initiation, progression, and metastasis.
