The circadian clock entrains rhythmic patterns in behavioral and physiological processes to temporally coordinate systemic metabolism with the rising and setting of the sun. In previous investigation on human subjects, sphingomyelins (SMs) exhibited strong rhythmicity on an individual basis. However, the mechanistic connection between SM and circadian regulation remains unclear.
