Improving melatonin circadian phase estimates.
The quality and quantity of sleep is to a large extent determined by whether the sleep period is in alignment with the most favorable circadian time window for sleep. Misalignment results in compromised sleep. In order to determine this circadian time window, the 24-h profile of melatonin secretion is generally considered to provide the most optimal estimate. Melatonin secretion occurs only dur...
متن کاملDaytime naps in darkness phase shift the human circadian rhythms of melatonin and thyrotropin secretion.
To systematically determine the effects of daytime exposure to sleep in darkness on human circadian phase, four groups of subjects participated in 4-day studies involving either no nap (control), a morning nap (0900-1500), an afternoon nap (1400-2000), or an evening nap (1900-0100) in darkness. Except during the scheduled sleep/dark periods, subjects remained awake under constant conditions, i....
متن کاملNeuropeptides phase shift the mammalian circadian pacemaker.
We studied the influence on circadian rhythms of peptides that have been reported to be colocalized in suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) neurons. Gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP1-27), peptide histidine isoleucine (PHI), and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) were microinjected into the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) region of Syrian hamsters free running under three different constant lighting c...
متن کاملSelective MT2 melatonin receptor antagonists block melatonin-mediated phase advances of circadian rhythms.
This study demonstrates the involvement of the MT2 (Mel1b) melatonin receptor in mediating phase advances of circadian activity rhythms by melatonin. In situ hybridization histochemistry with digoxigenin-labeled oligonucleotide probes revealed for the first time the expression of mt1 and MT2 melatonin receptor mRNA within the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the C3H/HeN mouse. Melatonin (0.9 to 30 mi...
متن کاملCircadian Clock: Time for a Phase Shift of Ideas?
A recent study shows that cycling of cryptochrome proteins is dispensable for circadian clock function in mammalian cells. Is it time for a paradigm shift in how we think about the circadian clock mechanism?
