Modern societies are experiencing an increasing trend of reduced sleep duration, with
nocturnal sleeping time below the recommended ranges for health. Epidemiological and …

Abstract 'Reactive oxygen species'(ROS) is an umbrella term for an array of derivatives of
molecular oxygen that occur as a normal attribute of aerobic life. Elevated formation of the …

Endogenous biological clocks, orchestrated by the suprachiasmatic nucleus, time the
circadian rhythms that synchronize physiological and behavioural functions in humans. The …

Nutriments have been deemed to impact all physiopathologic processes. Recent evidences
in molecular medicine and clinical trials have demonstrated that adequate nutrition …

BACKGROUND The core of the mammalian circadian clock mechanism is a time-delayed
transcription-translation feedback loop (TTFL), which influences the transcription and …

Circadian Mechanisms in Medicine Molecular insights into diurnal variations in human
physiology and behavior are extending our understanding of a wide range of disease …

Hundreds of studies have found that weak magnetic fields can significantly influence various
biological systems. However, the underlying mechanisms behind these phenomena remain …

Cryptochromes (CRYs) are photoreceptors that mediate light regulation of the circadian
clock in plants and animals. Here we show that CRYs mediate blue-light regulation of N6 …

Environmental light cycles entrain circadian feeding behaviors in animals that produce
rhythms in exposure to foodborne bacteria. Here, we show that the intestinal microbiota …

Circadian clocks are ubiquitous timing mechanisms that generate approximately 24-h
rhythms in cellular and bodily functions across nearly all living species. These internal clock …
