Circadian rhythms, sleep, and metabolism.
The discovery of the genetic basis for circadian rhythms has expanded our knowledge of the temporal organization of behavior and physiology. The observations that the circadian gene network is present in most living organisms from eubacteria to humans, that most cells and tissues express autonomous clocks, and that disruption of clock genes results in metabolic dysregulation have revealed inter...
متن کاملMelatonin, Circadian Rhythms, and Sleep.
Experimental data show a close relationship among melatonin, circadian rhythms, and sleep. Low-dose melatonin treatment, increasing circulating melatonin levels to those normally observed at night, promotes sleep onset and sleep maintenance without changing sleep architecture. Melatonin treatment can also advance or delay the phase of the circadian clock if administered in the evening or in the...
متن کاملFunctional neuroanatomy of sleep and circadian rhythms.
The daily sleep-wake cycle is perhaps the most dramatic overt manifestation of the circadian timing system, and this is especially true for the monophasic sleep-wake cycle of humans. Considerable recent progress has been made in elucidating the neurobiological mechanisms underlying sleep and arousal, and more generally, of circadian rhythmicity in behavioral and physiological systems. This pape...
متن کاملEcstasy: 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA).
The crystal structure of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine [systematic name: N-methyl-1-[3,4-(methylenedioxy) phenyl]-2-aminopropane] hydrochloride, C11H15NO2.HCl, also known as 'ecstasy' or MDMA, has been determined by X-ray diffraction.
متن کاملSleep, Circadian Rhythms and Interval Timing
The temporal interplay between genetic and epigenetic mechanisms determines behavioral, physiological and molecular phenotypes across the organism. The understanding of how genetic sequences translate in complex phenotypes is a major challenge in current functional genomics. This difficulty is due to the fact that modules of genes co-express [2] and a particular phenotype results from the preci...
