Scientists have identified a new type of depression that may be caused by a specific protein in the body that’s related to sleep regulation. These findings may lead to the development of new treatments for those who suffer from depression that is not responsive to traditional medications. Depression: A Global Epidemic In their latest report […]
Is Our Environment Killing Us? How Environmental Toxins Disrupt Circadian Rhythm
Is our environment killing us? That just may be the case, according to a new study that was recently shared in the journal Ecology and Evolution. The research looked at how environmental factors, specifically toxins to which we are exposed, affect our circadian rhythm — the internal biological clock within each of us. In short, toxins may be inhibiting […]
New Blood Test Reveals Secrets About Your Inner Clock
It is now possible to “read” one’s internal clock, thanks to a new circadian clock blood test. The groundbreaking discovery was made by scientists from Charité University of Medicine in Berlin. The Internal Clock Controls All Physiological Processes All living beings, including humans, follow natural biological rhythms which are controlled by their internal clock. Many […]
Researchers Reveal the Best Time of Day for Atherosclerosis Treatment
Determining the right time of day for atherosclerosis medication may provide greater benefits to patients, according to new research in chronopharmacology. Why is the Effectiveness of Atherosclerosis Medication Important? Atherosclerosis is a condition in which fat deposits build up on the walls of the arteries.

Circadian Clock Gene Linked to Drug Addiction
Increasing research has identified a primary circadian clock gene linked to drug addiction. According to scientists, the same gene that governs the body’s many circadian rhythms also plays a key part in regulating the brain’s reward system and could potentially influence the likelihood of addictive behavior. How Circadian Rhythms Impact Addiction Addiction has long been […]
