A new review of research has examined the key differences in the sleep patterns of women and men, the fluctuations in their body clocks and the impact on their metabolism. The study, published in the journal Sleep Medicine Reviews, highlights the crucial role that gender plays in understanding these factors and suggests that a person’s […]
Infant Gut Microbes Have Their Own Circadian Rhythm And Diet Has Little Influence on How The Microbiome is Composed
The gut microbiome of infants oscillates in a circadian rhythm, even when cultured outside the body. Researchers report in the journal Cell Host & Microbe that this rhythm is detectable as early as two weeks after birth, but becomes more pronounced with increasing age. The findings come from a randomized controlled trial that also showed […]
Therapy With Intense Light and Timing can Have a Positive Effect on the Heart
According to a new study by researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, controlling the circadian rhythm through intense light and timed therapy may help prevent or treat a number of diseases of the circulatory system, including heart disease. The study was published in Circulation Research, an official journal of the American Heart […]
Stabilization of Circadian Rhythms for the Treatment of Sleep Disorders and Jet Lag
Scientists at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health have identified a protein in the visual system of mice that appears to be critical for stabilizing the body’s circadian rhythms by buffering the brain’s response to light. The discovery, published in the journal PLoS Biology, could help to better treat […]
