Circadian rhythms, aging, and life span in mammals.
نویسنده
چکیده
Resetting the circadian clock leads to well being and increased life span, whereas clock disruption is associated with aging and morbidity. Increased longevity and improved health can be achieved by different feeding regimens that reset circadian rhythms and may lead to better synchrony in metabolism and physiology. This review focuses on recent findings concerning the relationships between circadian rhythms, aging attenuation, and life-span extension in mammals.

Effect of feeding regimens on circadian rhythms: Implications for aging and longevity
Increased longevity and improved health can be achieved in mammals by two feeding regimens, caloric restriction (CR), which limits the amount of daily calorie intake, and intermittent fasting (IF), which allows the food to be available ad libitum every other day. The precise mechanisms mediating these beneficial effects are still unresolved. Resetting the circadian clock is another intervention...
متن کاملTiming of expression of the core clock gene Bmal1 influences its effects on aging and survival.
The absence of Bmal1, a core clock gene, results in a loss of circadian rhythms, an acceleration of aging, and a shortened life span in mice. To address the importance of circadian rhythms in the aging process, we generated conditional Bmal1 knockout mice that lacked the BMAL1 protein during adult life and found that wild-type circadian variations in wheel-running activity, heart rate, and bloo...
متن کاملLong-lived alphaMUPA transgenic mice exhibit pronounced circadian rhythms.
Robust biological rhythms have been shown to affect life span. Biological clocks can be entrained by two feeding regimens, restricted feeding (RF) and caloric restriction (CR). RF restricts the time of food availability, whereas CR restricts the amount of calories with temporal food consumption. CR is known to retard aging and extend life span of animals via yet-unknown pathways. We hypothesize...
متن کاملWhy do circadian biorhythms age?
Circadian biorhythms change with age and such changes are caused by the loss of both the time and the space structure. These alterations of biorhythms are associated with poor health and the end of life but we do not know the extent to which they represent cell clock system injury. It seems that ageing of biorhythms in mammals, i.e. including humans, is caused by the ability of suprachiasmatic ...
متن کاملAging of intrinsic circadian rhythms and sleep in a diurnal nonhuman primate, Macaca mulatta.
There is growing evidence that alterations in the intrinsic circadian clock and sleep might affect the aging process. The rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta) provides unique opportunities to explore the role of the clock in successful and unsuccessful physiological and cognitive aging in a diurnal primate with consolidated nighttime sleep, complex cognitive functions, long life span, and phylogeneti...
