چکیده
Lithium carbonate lengthens the circadian period of body temperature and sleep-wakefulness in humans under temporal isolation (arctic conditions in Svalbard, 79 degrees N) in two out of four groups.

Influence of N-Phthaloyl GABA on the Circadian Rhythms of Lipid Peroxidation and Antioxidants in Wistar Rats under Constant Light
N-Phthaloyl GABA was administrated daily (50 mg/Kg body weight-i.p) to Wistar rats for 21 days and circadian rhythms of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and antioxidants such as reduced glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were studied under constant light (LL) conditions. Delayed acrophase of TBARS and advanced acrophase of antioxidants (GSH, CAT and ...
متن کاملThe survey of fluctuations of attention on circadian and weekly rhythms among high school students
Introduction: Human cognitive activities are affected by the time of doing homework, biologic rhythms and interaction among them. Method: this research accomplished to specify the fluctuation patterns of daily and weekly cycles of the students attention. The research method was correlation. The statistical population of this study were 45 female students in 11th grade from a high school in hu...
متن کاملEffect of lithium chloride on the circadian rhythm in the flight activity of the microchiropteran bat, Taphozous melanopogon.
We have performed experiments on the influence of Li+ offered through drinking water i) on the period length (tau) of the rhythm in the flight of bats under LL and ii) on phase angles during entrainment under LD cycles. Bats subject to entrainment exhibited no qualitative and quantitative change in psi values after Li+ treatment. In contrast the ingestion of Li ions by bats under free-running c...
متن کاملLithium effects on circadian rhythms in fibroblasts and suprachiasmatic nucleus slices from Cry knockout mice.
Lithium is widely used as a treatment of bipolar disorder, a neuropsychiatric disorder associated with disrupted circadian rhythms. Lithium is known to lengthen period and increase amplitude of circadian rhythms. One possible pathway for these effects involves inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β), which regulates degradation of CRY2, a canonical clock protein determining circadian...
متن کاملLithium Impacts on the Amplitude and Period of the Molecular Circadian Clockwork
Lithium salt has been widely used in treatment of Bipolar Disorder, a mental disturbance associated with circadian rhythm disruptions. Lithium mildly but consistently lengthens circadian period of behavioural rhythms in multiple organisms. To systematically address the impacts of lithium on circadian pacemaking and the underlying mechanisms, we measured locomotor activity in mice in vivo follow...
