A recent study conducted by University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) researchers, offered interesting results concerning changes in body temperature rhythms. Published in Chronobiology International, a peer-reviewed journal specializing in biological and medical rhythm research, the results of the study linked those changes in body temperature patterns to aging and disease. The connection between aging […]
Scientists Strive to Determine the Best Time of Day to Take Medication
As medical scientists gain a deeper understanding of chronobiology, they are seeing great potentials for improving the treatment of disease. An important element of that improvement includes the potential to develop what has been termed “personalized circadian medicine,” an approach to care that utilizes a person’s own individual biological rhythms. According to research scientists, circadian […]
