Daily rhythms in behavior and physiology are programmed by a hierarchical collection of
biological clocks located throughout the brain and body, known as the circadian system …

Daily and seasonal rhythms in the endocrine system are co-ordinated by a hypothalamic
pacemaker, the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) that is synchronised to solar time by direct …

Circadian rhythms influence most of our life activities, notably getting up and going to sleep
every day. The new edition of this book delves into the mechanisms surrounding how these …

Precise timing in hormone release from the hypothalamus, the pituitary and ovary is critical
for fertility. Hormonal release patterns of the reproductive axis are regulated by a feedback …

Organismal development requires the reproducible unfolding of an ordered sequence of
discrete steps (cell fate determination, migration, tissue folding, etc.) in both time and space …

The circadian clock imparts 24-hour rhythmicity on gene expression and cellular physiology
in virtually all cells. Disruption of the genes necessary for the circadian clock to function has …

Circadian rhythms and “clock gene” expression are involved in successful reproductive
cycles, mating, and pregnancy. Alterations or disruptions of biological rhythms, as commonly …

Objective To evaluate the association of sleep parameters on female and male reproductive
functions. Design Systematic review. Setting Not applicable. Patient (s) Female and male …

Sleep is vital to human bodily function. Growing evidence indicates that sleep deprivation,
disruption, dysrhythmia, and disorders are associated with impaired reproductive function …

Over the past two decades, it has become clear just how much of our physiology is under the
control of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and the cell-intrinsic molecular clock that ticks …
