Study of female fertility from age 9 to menopause reveals specific mechanisms that may affect fertility at different ages. The mechanisms depend on naturally occurring chromosome errors that vary depending on age.
A new study reports the time of day at which you exercise can shift your body clock. The findings suggest exercise could counter the negative health effects associated with shift work and jet lag.
According to a new study, those who are genetically predisposed to be early risers have a lower risk of developing psychiatric conditions, such as depression and schizophrenia, as well as having better over all health. In contrast to other studies, researchers did not find a strong link between circadian rhythm and diseases such as obesity or diabetes.
Researchers report Per1, a gene that governs circadian rhythm, acts differently in women, and may protect them from heart disease.
A new study sheds light on how the circadian clock controls inflammatory response. By understanding the link between inflammation and circadian rhythm, researchers believe it may be most effective to target specific conditions at certain times of the day. The findings may also explain why those who experience body clock disruptions are more susceptible to inflammatory conditions.
According to researchers, circadian disruptions can occur years before symptoms of Alzheimer's develop. The findings could help to identify those at risk of developing the neurodegenerative disease as they age.
A new study sheds light on human perception. Researchers report our mental time processing system is able to flexibly adapt to predictive time patterns.
According to researchers, those who eat in close proximity to their natural melatonin onset are more likely to have a higher percentage of body fat and BMI than those who eat earlier.
Researchers develop a new way to identify interacting proteins.
A new study reports on the crucial role the protein GRK2 plays in regulating the body's internal clock.
According to a new study, the color of light has significant impact on our circadian clock.
Overexposure to artificial light, especially from devices which emit blue light, can suppress melatonin and disrupt the circadian cycle, a new study reports.
