Roles of estrogen receptor-alpha in mediating life span: the hypothalamic deregulation hypothesis. [PDF]
In several species caloric restriction (CR) extends life span. In this paper we integrate data from studies on CR and other sources to articulate the hypothalamic deregulation hypothesis by which estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-α) signaling in the ...

ABSTRACT Hearing impairment is attributed to factors such as age, genetic predisposition, and environmental influences, among which environmental factors are considered modifiable. Among various environmental factors, the role of poor lifestyle habits is particularly critical, yet the specific mechanisms by which they contribute to hearing damage ...

Stress, stress systems, and Alzheimer's disease
Abstract Stress is increasingly recognized as an important, modifiable factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), yet its roles in initiation, progression, and outcomes remain incompletely elucidated. Epidemiologic studies link chronic stress, early‐life adversity, and trauma to increased AD risk, while experimental models have uncovered mechanisms by which ...

Mouse circadian plasma leptin and active ghrelin rhythms under ad libitum and scheduled feeding [PDF]
Thesis (M.S.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2007Light is the strongest timing cue for the circadian system, but non-photic cues can also entrain the master circadian clock, i.e., suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN).

SIRT1: Protean roles at the nexus of health, disease, and therapeutics
SIRT1 serves as a central regulator linking metabolism, stress responses, and disease. It influences diverse processes, including transcriptional and posttranscriptional gene expression and protein activity, inflammation, mitochondrial function, and cell survival, through the deacetylation of multiple protein targets. While SIRT1 often plays protective

Riding the Rhythm of Melatonin Through Pregnancy to Deliver on Time
Pregnancy is influenced by the circadian (“circa” or approximately; diēm or day) system, which coordinates physiology and behavior with predictable daily changes in the environment such as light/dark cycles.

The choroid plexus is an important circadian clock component
The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) has been thought of as the master circadian clock, but peripheral circadian clocks do exist. Here, the authors show that the choroid plexus displays oscillations more robust than the SCN and that can be described as a ...
