The metabolic syndrome (MS) is a collection of risk factors for cardiovascular disease,
including obesity, hypertension, hyperinsulinemia, glucose intolerance and dyslipidemia …

Dynamic aspects of melatonin's actions merit increasing future attention. This concerns
particularly entirely different effects in senescent, weakened oscillators and in dysregulated …

Obesity is one of the major global health problems. Melatonin deficiency has been
demonstrated to correlate with obesity. The aim of the study was to estimate the effect of …

In mammals, the circadian timing system drives rhythms of physiology and behaviour,

hypothesize that night-time road traffic noise (RTN) may impair glucose homeostasis …

Reduced nocturnal secretion of melatonin, a pineal hormone under circadian control, and
obstructive sleep apnea have been both identified as risk factors for the development of type …
