Infants begin developing consolidated sleep at 8 to 12 weeks of age, but their circadian clock is not fully connected and entrained to the environmental light-dark cycle until around four to six months of age.
"Then after 8 to 12 weeks, they actually begin to have some kind of consolidated sleep. So they go to sleep and wake up at the right time, wake up after a few hours, but it's not tied to the light-dark cycle. So they kind of drift... So around six months of age, that's when the whole development process and the clock is functional, it's tied to light-dark cycle, it's wired properly, so the babies go to bed, hopefully, in the evening and then sleep for nine to ten hours, wake up. So when we are born we do have clocks, but they are not connected together until about four to six months of age." (said at 0:02:40)
No published record matching the claim that infants begin developing consolidated sleep at 8 to 12 weeks of age but do not fully connect and entrain their circadian clock to the environmental light-dark cycle until four to six months of age was located; this does not prove the claim false.
Cortisol directly regulates roughly 20% of protein-coding genes in humans.
"I mean, cortisol regulates... in itself, it's regulating 20% of protein-coding genes." (said at 0:19:22)
No published record matching the claim that cortisol directly regulates roughly 20% of protein-coding genes in humans was located; this does not prove the claim false.
Under standard ad libitum laboratory conditions, mice consume approximately 70% of their total daily food intake during the nighttime phase.
"mice actually eat most of their food, nearly 70% of food during night time. They eat a little bit during daytime" (said at 0:37:48)
No published record matching the claim that mice consume approximately 70% of their total daily food intake during the nighttime phase under standard ad libitum laboratory conditions was located; this does not prove the claim false.
Unlike mice who consume the same number of calories under time-restricted feeding, human participants instructed to restrict eating duration spontaneously reduced their caloric intake by 20%.
"in mice, if you do the same experiment, mice will chow down. They will eat the same number of calories as when they have free access to food. But in humans, these people in our study, they actually ate 20% less calories." (said at 1:02:48)
No published record matching the claim that human participants instructed to restrict eating duration spontaneously reduce their caloric intake by 20% while mice consume the same number of calories was located; this does not prove the claim false.
In mice subjected to time-restricted feeding, simple carbohydrates produced by bacterial breakdown of complex carbohydrates are not absorbed and are excreted in the feces because the degradation occurs in the lower intestine.
"mice that are time-restricted feeding, although the bacteria could break down the complex carbohydrate to simple carbohydrate, for some reason that simple carbohydrate could not be taken up by the gut. It actually went out in the poop." (said at 1:22:00)
No published record matching the claim that time-restricted feeding causes simple carbohydrates derived from bacterial breakdown of complex carbohydrates to remain unabsorbed and excreted in the feces was located; this does not prove the claim false.
Unverified means no publication matching the claim was located; it does not prove the claim false. Spotted an error? See the corrections policy - disputes from the people quoted are prioritized.
