While accumulating evidence suggests that circadian desynchrony is linked to obesity and metabolic syndrome, the underlining mechanism is still poorly understood. In this issue, Kettner et al. ( 2015) demonstrate that leptin resistance, induced by circadian clock deficiency or chronic jet lag, may represent this missing link.
