The circadian rhythm plays a fundamental role in regulating biological functions, including
sleep–wake preference, body temperature, hormonal secretion, food intake, and cognitive …

BACKGROUND Life-forms ranging from bacteria to humans are programmed by circadian
clocks—mechanisms that impose an~ 24-hour rhythmicity on biology in harmony with …

The term social jetlag is used to describe the discrepancy between biological time,
determined by our internal body clock, and social times, mainly dictated by social obligations …

Circadian rhythms (CR) are a series of endogenous autonomous oscillators generated by
the molecular circadian clock which acting on coordinating internal time with the external …

The circadian clock and feeding rhythms are both important regulators of rhythmic gene
expression in the liver. To further dissect the respective contributions of feeding and the …

The mammalian circadian clock, expressed throughout the brain and body, controls daily
metabolic homeostasis. Clock function in peripheral tissues is required, but not sufficient, for …

Many molecular, physiological and behavioural processes display distinct 24-hour rhythms
that are directed by the circadian system. The master clock, located in the suprachiasmatic …

Healthy individuals exhibit blood pressure variation over a 24-hour period with higher blood
pressure during wakefulness and lower blood pressure during sleep. Loss or disruption of …

The circadian system is composed of coupled endogenous oscillators that allow living
beings, including humans, to anticipate and adapt to daily changes in their environment. In …

The circadian clock controls several aspects of mammalian physiology and orchestrates the
daily oscillations of biological processes and behavior. Our circadian rhythms are driven by …
