Introduction
In reference to biologic rhythms with a cycle of about 24 hours.
Pathology
- evening chronotype (a circadian preference to go to sleep late at night) may be associated with an unhealthy lifestyle & increased risk of type-2 diabetes[7]
- disrupted circadian rhythms in cognitively normal adults linked to higher subsequent amyloid-beta PET burden[8]
Genetics
- human myocardium biopsy samples found that time of day affected expression of nearly 300 genes[5]
Pharmacology
- > 50% of the 100 best-selling drugs in the U.S. target products of genes with circadian periodicity
Physiology
- the suprachiasmatic nucleus acts as the central pacemaker for the human circadian system
- when the retina processes wavelengths of light typically emitted by the sun, a series of signal transduction eventactivate expression of circadian genes within the suprachiasmatic nucleus
- liver, muscles, fat tissue, beta cells, & the gut may have circadian clocks of their own
- timing of food may synchronize may synchronize these peripheral circadian clocks
- glucose metabolism is tied to a circadian rhythm & influenced by food timing
- healthy individuals process sugar from nighttime meals more slowly than they process comparable morning meals
- when peripheral circadian oscillators are not in sync withthe central oscillator, deranged metabolism occurs with weight gain & development of glucose intolerance
- restricted eating to a period of 10-12 hours each day has benefits in glycemic control & weight reduction
Comparative biology
- 43% of protein-coding genes in mice show circadian variation
Notes
- mobile smartphone application that helps patients understand their body's rhythms while contributing to research[3]
- Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2017 for work on the molecular mechanisms of circadian rhythm[4]
