This study examines sex- and organ-specific responses to time-restricted feeding in mice, showing differential effects on weight gain, glucose levels, and gene expression across tissues.

The paper introduces GAT, a tool for automated analysis of enteric neurons in gut tissue images, improving accuracy and throughput over manual methods.
