The effects of light at night on circadian clocks and metabolism
Most organisms display endogenously produced∼ 24-hour fluctuations in physiology and
behavior, termed circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms are driven by a transcriptional …

Mice genetically deficient in vasopressin V1a and V1b receptors are resistant to jet lag
Jet-lag symptoms arise from temporal misalignment between the internal circadian clock
and external solar time. We found that circadian rhythms of behavior (locomotor activity) …
