Time-restricted eating (TRE) is a behavioral intervention approach motivated by the emerging role of circadian rhythms in physiology and metabolism. In this approach, all caloric intake is restricted within a regular interval of less than 12 hours, with no overt attempt to reduce calories. We present a whole-body computational model of TRE that incorporates enzyme and substrate reactions as well as hormonal actions during fasting and postprandial states. The model is divided into seven compartments: brain, heart, skeletal muscle, gastrointestinal tract, liver, adipose tissue, and other tissues. We conducted simulations to test the hypothesis that TRE modulates whole-body glucose balance by improving postprandial hyperglycemia and hypertriglyceridemia, keeping these excursions to a minimum. We simulated different TRE schedules with meals varying in fat and carbohydrate content. Our results highlight the importance of chrono-pharmacological considerations in glycemic control: TRE modulates the interplay between glycogenolysis in the liver, lipolysis in adipose tissue and fatty acid oxidation in other organs to improve glucose control. The alternation of eating and fasting, in particular, could be manipulated to balance blood sugar levels. TRE simulations have also shown beneficial effects on the lipid front, such as lower triglyceride levels and improved lipolytic effciency, meaning the body is better able to use fat stores for fuel.
