Brain circadian oscillators and redox regulation in mammals.
SIGNIFICANCE Functional states of organisms vary rhythmically with a period of about a day (i.e., circadian). This endogenous dynamic is shaped by day-night alternations in light and energy. Mammalian circadian rhythms are orchestrated by the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), a brain region specialized for timekeeping. These autonomous ~24-h oscillations are cell-based, requiring tran...
متن کاملPeripheral circadian oscillators in mammals.
Although circadian rhythms in mammalian physiology and behavior are dependent upon a biological clock in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus, the molecular mechanism of this clock is in fact cell autonomous and conserved in nearly all cells of the body. Thus, the SCN serves in part as a "master clock," synchronizing "slave" clocks in peripheral tissues, and in part directly orc...
متن کاملCircadian oscillators of Drosophila and mammals.
Animals, plants, fungi and even some prokaryotic organisms display daily rhythms in behavior, physiology, metabolic activity and gene expression. These rhythms are not passively driven by environmental cycles (e.g. light and temperature) but are controlled by endogenous circadian clocks that keep time even in the absence of environmental time cues. Environmental cycles are nevertheless required...
متن کاملPeripheral circadian oscillators in mammals: time and food.
Peripheral cells from mammalian tissues, while perfectly capable of circadian rhythm generation, are not light sensitive and thus have to be entrained by nonphotic cues. Feeding time is the dominant zeitgeber for peripheral mammalian clocks: Daytime feeding of nocturnal laboratory rodents completely inverts the phase of circadian gene expression in many tissues, including liver, heart, kidney, ...
متن کاملCircadian oscillators in eukaryotes.
The biological clock, present in nearly all eukaryotes, has evolved such that organisms can adapt to our planet's rotation in order to anticipate the coming day or night as well as unfavorable seasons. As all modern high-precision chronometers, the biological clock uses oscillation as a timekeeping element. In this review, we describe briefly the discovery, historical development, and general p...
