Feeding and circadian clocks [PDF]
Reproduction Nutrition Development, 2006 The mammalian genome encodes at least a dozen of genes directly involved in the regulation of the feedback loops constituting the circadian clock. The circadian system is built up on a multitude of oscillators organized according to a hierarchical ...

Circadian Clocks: Evolution in the Shadows [PDF]
Current Biology, 2009 As scientists, we strive for highly controlled conditions. The real world, however, is noisy. Complex networks are a coping mechanism for an erratic environment.

Circadian Biology: Clocks within Clocks [PDF]
Current Biology, 2005 A small cluster of approximately 20,000 neurons in the ventral hypothalamus provide the body with key time-keeping signals and drive circadian rhythms. This circadian clock exhibits surprisingly complex substructures, with inputs from the retina, and outputs to other brain structures.

The Circadian Clock in Lepidoptera [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 With approximately 160,000 identified species of butterflies and moths, Lepidoptera are among the most species-rich and diverse insect orders. Lepidopteran insects have fundamental ecosystem functions as pollinators and valuable food sources for countless animals.

The circadian clock in mammals [PDF]
The Journal of Headache and Pain, 2000 The basic physiological and anatomical basis for circadian rhythms in mammalian behaviour and physiology is introduced. The pathways involved in photic entrainment of the circadian clock are discussed in relation of new findings that identify the molecules that are involved in signalling between the environment and the clock.

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 ...

Circadian Clocks and Pregnancy [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2014 The recognition that 24-h rhythmic processes (“circadian”) underlie many endocrine functions has added a fascinating new temporal dimension to our appreciation of their complexity. Research from various laboratories has revealed circadian gene expression in multiple tissues in the reproductive system of non-pregnant and pregnant mammals.

Reciprocal Interactions between Circadian Clocks, Food Intake, and Energy Metabolism
Biology, 2023 Like other biological functions, food intake and energy metabolism display daily rhythms controlled by the circadian timing system that comprises a main circadian clock and numerous secondary clocks in the brain and peripheral tissues.
