” Deep analyses of mice in our experiment revealed that time restricted eating triggers many internal programs that improve our body’s resilience – enabling us to fight off any unhealthy […]

Changes in circadian clock can alter the body’s microbes and response to diet
“Here, we studied two of those strategies. One involves the circadian clock, the internal mechanism that helps orchestrate body activities such as going to sleep or when to eat. Another […]
Scientists provide first evidence that carbamates can upset circadian rhythms
“The research suggests that exposure to these insecticides adversely affects melatonin receptor signaling, creating a higher risk for metabolic diseases such as diabetes.”
Gut microbe movements regulate host circadian rhythms
“Circadian rhythms are a way of adapting to changes in light and dark, metabolic changes, and the timing of when we eat,” says Segal. “Other studies have shown the importance […]
Disrupting the brain’s internal clock causes depressive-like behavior in mice
“Our data show that perturbing circadian rhythms in otherwise totally undisturbed animals is enough to cause behaviors similar to human depression,” commented first author Dr. Dominic Landgraf of the University […]
Blast of thin air can reset circadian clocks
“In the paper, the researchers show that changing the concentration of oxygen in cells by just 3%, twice a day, will synchronize mouse cells to a circadian rhythm.”
Gut bacteria have own circadian clock
“The circadian rhythm, or circadian clock, is an internal mechanism that drives the 24-hour cycles […] — and now, new research has found that bacteria living within the gut also have […]
Back pain link to 24-hour body clock revealed
“New research by University of Manchester scientists has for the first time shown that our spinal discs have 24-hour body clocks which when they malfunction, can contribute to lower back […]
New study reveals a link between circadian clock disruption and tumor growth
“A handful of large studies of cancer risk factors have found that working the night shift, as nearly 15 percent of Americans do, boosts the chances of developing cancer. MIT […]
