Sleep disturbances including insomnia independently contribute to risk of inflammatory
disorders and major depressive disorder. This review and overview provides an integrated …

Daily interactions between the hypothalamic circadian clock at the suprachiasmatic nucleus
(SCN) and peripheral circadian oscillators regulate physiology and metabolism to set …

Irregular or unnatural artificial light causes severe environmental stress on the survival and
health of organisms, which is rapidly becoming a widespread new type of environmental …

Metabolic functions are synchronized by the circadian clock setting daily patterns of food
intake, nutrient delivery, and behavioral activity. Here, we study the impact of chronic jet‐lag …

The term energy metabolism comprises the entirety of chemical processes associated with
uptake, conversion, storage, and breakdown of nutrients. All these must be tightly regulated …

Circadian disruption induced by rotating light cycles has been linked to metabolic disorders.
However, how the interaction of light intensity and light cycle affects metabolism under …

Circadian rhythms are internal 24-h intrinsic oscillations that are present in essentially all
mammalian cells and can influence numerous biological processes. Cardiac function is …

Disruption of circadian rhythmicity induced by prolonged light exposure, altered sleep
patterns and shift work is associated with the development of obesity and related metabolic …

The choroid plexus (ChP) in the brain ventricles has a major influence on brain
homeostasis. In this study, we aimed to determine whether the circadian clock located in …

The different types of adipose tissues fulfill a wide range of biological functions—from
energy storage to hormone secretion and thermogenesis—many of which show pronounced …
