circadian control of glucose production (IMAGE) University of California - Irvine Caption During lung cancer progression and the corresponding development of cachexia, circadian control of glucose production is disrupted, resulting in increased levels of glucose from the liver. These findings illustrate a tissue-tissue crosstalk whereby a lung tumor can disrupt the circadian metabolism of a distal tissue, potentially for its own growth advantage.
