Sleep is regulated by circadian and homeostatic processes. Whereas the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is viewed as the principal mediator of circadian control, the contributions of sub-ordinate local circadian clocks distributed across the brain are ...

Endogenous melatonin promotes rhythmic recruitment of neutrophils toward an injury in zebrafish
Neutrophil recruitment to injured tissue appears to be an evolutionarily conserved strategy for organisms to fight against exogenous insults. Recent studies have shown rhythmic migration of neutrophils and several factors, including melatonin, have been ...

Intestinal Stem Cells Exhibit Conditional Circadian Clock Function
Summary: The circadian clock is a molecular pacemaker that produces 24-hr physiological cycles known as circadian rhythms. How the clock regulates stem cells is an emerging area of research with many outstanding questions.

A miR-219-5p-bmal1b negative feedback loop contributes to circadian regulation in zebrafish
MicroRNAs post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression and contribute to numerous life processes, including circadian rhythms. However, whether miRNAs contribute to zebrafish circadian regulation has not yet been investigated.

Circadian and Circalunar Clock Interactions in a Marine Annelid
Life is controlled by multiple rhythms. Although the interaction of the daily (circadian) clock with environmental stimuli, such as light, is well documented, its relationship to endogenous clocks with other periods is little understood.

Chronic Treatment with Metformin Has No Disrupting Effect on the Hepatic Circadian Clock in Mice
Background and Objectives: The antidiabetic agent metformin is known to activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in various tissues. Because AMPK can modulate intracellular circadian clocks through regulating the stability of clock components, a ...

Food as circadian time cue for appetitive behavior [version 1; peer review: 5 approved]
Feeding schedules entrain circadian clocks in multiple brain regions and most peripheral organs and tissues, thereby synchronizing daily rhythms of foraging behavior and physiology with times of day when food is most likely to be found.

An adipokine feedback regulating diurnal food intake rhythms in mice
Endogenous circadian clocks have evolved to anticipate 24 hr rhythms in environmental demands. Recent studies suggest that circadian rhythm disruption is a major risk factor for the development of metabolic disorders in humans. Conversely, alterations in
