Circadian rhythm and its role in malignancy
Circadian rhythms are daily oscillations of multiple biological processes directed by endogenous clocks. The circadian timing system comprises peripheral oscillators located in most tissues of the body and a central pacemaker located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus. Circadian genes and the proteins produced by these genes constitute the molecular components of the circa...
متن کاملGenetic Variation and its Role in Malignancy
Genetic variation has long been thought associated with common complex disease and has therefore been widely studied. Genetic variation in the human genome is present in many forms and have been summarised in this review. The potential role of DNA damage, DNA repair and environmental influence on genetic variation in the development of cancer will be discussed, before significant genome project...
متن کاملJet lag, circadian rhythm sleep disturbances, and depression: the role of melatonin and its analogs.
Traveling through several time zones results in a constellation of symptoms known as jet lag. These include reduced alertness, daytime fatigue, loss of appetite, reduced cognitive skills, and disruption of the sleep/wake cycle. In susceptible air travel passengers, jet lag may exacerbate affective illness and result in psychiatric morbidity. Dysregulation of circadian rhythms and melatonin secr...
متن کاملThe Role of Mammalian Glial Cells in Circadian Rhythm Regulation
Circadian rhythms are biological oscillations with a period of about 24 hours. These rhythms are maintained by an innate genetically determined time-keeping system called the circadian clock. A large number of the proteins involved in the regulation of this clock are transcription factors controlling rhythmic transcription of so-called clock-controlled genes, which participate in a plethora of ...
متن کاملCircadian Rhythm, Exercise, and Heart.
Circadian rhythm is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism from archaea to human. To deal with the day-night changes in the environment on earth, circadian rhythm modulates the biological function to coordinate an appropriate timing for each process. Circadian rhythm and exercise have important impacts on each other. Exercise is a strong entrainment signal for mammalian circadian clock. 1 Proper...
