Circadian and Ultradian Clocks/Rhythms
Glossary Circadian biological rhythms of approximately 24 h in duration. Clock something that is used to measure time. Chronotherapeutics treatment protocol for cancer whereby the time of day that chemotherapy is administered is chosen in order to be maximally effective in treating the tumor, but have minimal effects on the patient. Entrainment the process by which an environmental stimulus reg...
متن کاملCircadian Rhythms: Biological Clocks Work in Phospho-Time
The 24 hour molecular oscillator requires precisely calibrated degradation of core clock proteins, like PERIOD. New studies shed light on a sequential series of PERIOD phosphorylation events that first inhibits, then accelerates PERIOD degradation.
متن کاملCircadian Clocks, Metabolism, and Food- Entrained Rhythms
The circadian clock is one of the most conserved systems in mammals. It is an important regulator of many biological processes, such as the sleep-wake cycle, hormone secretion, and body temperature, which can influence both cellular and organ-level metabolic functioning. At the molecular level, the circadian system consists of autoregulatory feedback loop that dictates the timing of behavioral ...
متن کاملBiological clocks and rhythms in intertidal crustaceans.
Animals with habitats within the intertidal zone are exposed to environmental cycles that include the ebb and flow of tidal waters, changes in tidal levels associated with the lunar month, the light-dark cycle and the alternation of seasons. This intricate temporal environment results in the selection of biological timing systems with endogenous clocks that can oscillate with this wide range of...
متن کاملCircadian Rhythms in Urinary Functions: Possible Roles of Circadian Clocks?
Circadian clocks are the endogenous oscillators that harmonize a variety of physiological processes within the body. Although many urinary functions exhibit clear daily or circadian variation in diurnal humans and nocturnal rodents, the precise mechanisms of these variations are as yet unclear. In this review, we briefly introduce circadian clocks and their organization in mammals. We then summ...
