Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism, 2021 Background Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland in a circadian rhythmic manner with peak synthesis at night. Melatonin signalling was suggested to play a critical role in metabolism during the circadian disruption.

IEEE Photonics Journal, 2018 It has been elucidated that the responses to light by the human eye influence not only color and brightness recognition but also physiological aspects such as hormones. Melatonin, which affects human circadian rhythms, is sensitive to the blue wavelength

Waking experience modulates sleep need in mice
BMC Biology, 2021 Background Homeostatic regulation of sleep is reflected in the maintenance of a daily balance between sleep and wakefulness. Although numerous internal and external factors can influence sleep, it is unclear whether and to what extent the process that ...

Circadian Rhythm Abnormalities in Parkinson's Disease from Humans to Flies and Back [PDF]
, 2018 Clinical and research studies have suggested a link between Parkinson\u2019s disease (PD) and alterations in the circadian clock. Drosophila melanogaster may represent a useful model to study the relationship between the circadian clock and PD.

Neurodegeneration and the Circadian Clock [PDF]
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2017 Despite varied etiologies and symptoms, several neurodegenerative diseases-specifically, Alzheimer's (AD), Parkinson's (PD), and Huntington's diseases (HDs)-share the common feature of abnormal circadian rhythms, such as those in behavior (e.g., disrupted sleep/wake cycles), physiological processes (e.g., diminished hormone release) and biochemical ...

The Melanocortin-4 Receptor Integrates Circadian Light Cues and Metabolism [PDF]
, 2015 The melanocortin system directs diverse physiological functions from coat color to body weight homoeostasis. A commonality among melanocortin-mediated processes is that many animals modulate similar processes on a circannual basis in response to longer ...

Biomolecular Concepts, 2014 Abstract Daily rhythms of light/darkness, activity/rest and feeding/fasting are important in human physiology and their disruption (for example by frequent changes between day and night shifts) increases the risk of disease. Many of the diseases found to be associated with such disrupted circadian lifestyles, including cancer ...
