Altered expression of circadian clock gene, mPer1, in mouse brain and kidney under morphine dependence and withdrawal
(East Carolina University, 2006-08-22)Every physiological function in the human body exhibits some form of circadian rhythmicity. Under pathological conditions, however, circadian rhythmicity may be dusrupted. Patients infected with HIV or addicted to drugs ... -
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor and neurotrophin receptors modulate glutamate-induced phase shifts of the suprachiasmatic nucleus
(East Carolina University, 2006-08)Light information reaches the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) through a subpopulation of retinal ganglion cells. Previous work raised the possibility that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its high-affinity ... -
Circadian influences on myocardial infarction
(2014-10-30)Components of circadian rhythm maintenance, or “clock genes,” are endogenous entrainable oscillations of about 24 h that regulate biological processes and are found in the suprachaismatic nucleus (SCN) and many peripheral ... -
THE EFFECTS OF CIRCADIAN RHYTHM ON INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE AND CYTOKINE LEVELS IN HEPATIC MACROPHAGES
(East Carolina University, 2014)In mammals, many aspects of daily behavior and physiology such as the sleep-wake cycle, body temperature, and liver metabolism are regulated by endogenous circadian mechanisms. Despite tissue-specific physiological ... -
Perturbation of Circadian Neuronal Oscillators with Low-Intensity Magnetic Stimulation
(East Carolina University, 2019-04-23)Circadian neuronal oscillatory dynamics are perturbed substantially in numerous neuropsychiatric diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and depression. Moreover, desynchronization of neuronal oscillators complicates ...
