Circadian rhythms, skeletal muscle molecular clocks, and exercise.
Skeletal muscle comprises approximately 40% of total body mass and, as such, contributes to maintenance of human health. In this review, we discuss the current state of knowledge regarding the role of molecular clocks in skeletal muscle. In addition, we discuss a new function for exercise as a time-setting cue for muscle and other peripheral tissues.
متن کاملMolecular clock mechanisms and circadian rhythms intrinsic to the heart.
Circadian rhythms are the external expression of an internal clock mechanism that measures daily time.1 Periodic environmental cues entrain or set the circadian clocks. The daily light-dark cycle represents the most dominant and potent entraining stimulus in mammals. An entrained clock coordinates physiological events to the 24hour day. Normally, cardiovascular or hemodynamic parameters, such a...

First published August 20, 2009; doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.00725.2009.—The study of the circadian molecular clock in skeletal muscle is in the very early stages. Initial research has demonstrated the presence of the molecular clock in skeletal muscle and that skeletal...
متن کاملCircadian rhythms: Eyes of the clock
The daily light-dark cycle synchronizes the internal circadian clock with the outside world. Blind organisms maintain this light-induced entrainment, suggesting the existence of a non-visual phototransduction pathway. The photoreceptor is unknown, but several intriguing candidates have recently come to light.
متن کاملCircadian Rhythms: Hijacking the Cyanobacterial Clock
Using basic research to advance a practical application, a recent study demonstrates that the circadian clock in cyanobacteria can be 'reprogrammed' to improve yields of heterologous protein production - a green future surely beckons.
