Characterization of locomotor activity circadian rhythms in athymic nude mice
UNLABELLED BACKGROUND The relation between circadian dysregulation and cancer incidence and progression has become a topic of major interest over the last decade. Also, circadian timing has gained attention regarding the use of chronopharmacology-based therapeutics. Given its lack of functional T lymphocytes, due to a failure in thymus development, mice carrying the Foxn1(Δ/Δ) mutation (nude...
متن کاملCircadian rhythms of locomotor activity in Drosophila.
Drosophila is by far the most advanced model to understand the complex biochemical interactions upon which circadian clocks rely. Most of the genes that have been characterized so far were isolated through genetic screens using the locomotor activity rhythms of the adults as a circadian output. In addition, new techniques are available to deregulate gene expression in specific cells, allowing t...
متن کاملCircadian rhythms in locomotor activity of juvenile horseshoe crabs.
The American horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus, is a classic model for vision research. Not only are the lateral eyes of Limulus relatively simple, but they share many processes with the eyes of more advanced animals, including humans (1). The eyes of Limulus also exhibit a remarkable circadian rhythm: they become nearly 1,000,000-fold more sensitive at night, accommodating for the roughly 1,0...
متن کاملTiming of Locomotor Activity Circadian Rhythms in Caenorhabditis elegans
Circadian rhythms are driven by endogenous biological clocks and are synchronized to environmental cues. The chronobiological study of Caenorhabditis elegans, an extensively used animal model for developmental and genetic research, might provide fundamental information about the basis of circadian rhythmicity in eukaryotes, due to its ease of use and manipulations, as well as availability of ge...
متن کاملVitamin B12 affects non-photic entrainment of circadian locomotor activity rhythms in mice.
Administration of vitamin B12 (VB12) has been reported to normalize human sleep-wake rhythm disorders such as non-24-h sleep-wake syndrome (HNS), delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS) or insomnia. However, the mechanisms of the action of VB12 on the rhythm disorders are unknown. In the present study, therefore, effects of VB12 on circadian rhythms of locomotor activity were examined in mice. In t...
