Chronobiology of Mood Disorders
2016The strong intimate relationship between mood disorders and life rhythms has been nowadays clearly recognized and analyzed, becoming one of the cornerstones for pathophysiological theorizations and therapeutic interventions in these diseases. Several body functions undergo biological rhythm, e.g., daily variations in hormone secretion or in body ...

Abstract The circadian pacemaker exerts a powerful influence on sleep and wakefulness (see Chap. 4), and when it is not in phase with the desired sleep-wake schedule, sleep-wake disturbances can occur. Symptoms include sleepiness when alertness is desired, insomnia when sleep is desired, or both.

Chronobiologic treatments for mood disorders
Chronotherapeutics are nonpharmacologic interventions whose development stems from investigations into sleep and circadian rhythm abnormalities associated with mood disorder. These therapies utilize controlled exposure to environmental cues (light, darkness) to regulate biologic rhythms.Dallaspezia S., Benedetti F.

[Chronobiological aspects of bipolar disorder].
Der Nervenarzt, 2022Numerous symptoms of bipolar disorder are regulated by the circadian rhythm. Because of this association it is assumed that disruption of the circadian rhythm may be part of the pathomechanism of bipolar disorder.A comparison and subsequent critical discussion of the current data situation on chronobiological aspects of bipolar disorder are presented.A

Chronobiological approach for treatment-resistant rapid cycling affective disorders
Biological Psychiatry, 1995A subgroup of patients who experience four or more major mood swings per year has been identified as rapid cyclers (Dunner and Fieve 1974). This subgroup is now believed to account for a significant proportion of treatment-resistant bipolar patients.

Melatonin, light and chronobiological disorders.
Ciba Foundation symposium, 1986Human plasma melatonin concentrations can be measured accurately and sensitively by gas chromatography-negative chemical ionization mass spectrometry. With this assay, we have shown that: in rats and in humans, plasma melatonin is exclusively derived from the pineal gland; propranolol and clonidine reduce melatonin levels in human; some blind people ...

Recent Patents on Endocrine, Metabolic & Immune Drug Discovery, 2011
Melatonin is an indolamine with a large spectrum of functions that can be divided into chronobiotic and nonchronobiotic. Chronobiotic effects are mediated by the daily rhythm of melatonin in the plasma due to nocturnal pineal synthesis, whereas the melatonin produced by other cells, such as gastrointestinal and immune competent cells, is independent of

Chronobiology of Human Sleep and Sleep Disorders
1992Across cultures and through the millenia humans have not only adapted to but organized their existence around periodicities present in their environment and within themselves. “While the earth remaineth,” the author of Genesis writes, “seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” But while numerous

[Chronobiological treatments of mood disorders].
Duodecim; laaketieteellinen aikakauskirja, 2014Chronobiological treatments are non-pharmacological treatments that influence the circadian rhythms and the physiology of sleep. In these treatments, the sleep-wake cycle and exposure to environmental stimuli affecting the biological rhythms are controlled.
