New Study Backs Chronopharmacology in Cancer Treatment
Timing is everything and nowhere more so than in circadian biology. The human body runs like clockwork when it is in good health, but these intricate rhythms can be disrupted by illness. In some illnesses, identifying these altered internal clocks can be a key to new and more effective treatment. Cancer is one of many […]
Body Temperature Rhythms Change With Age: Here’s How it Affects Your Health
A recent study conducted by University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) researchers, offered interesting results concerning changes in body temperature rhythms. Published in Chronobiology International, a peer-reviewed journal specializing in biological and medical rhythm research, the results of the study linked those changes in body temperature patterns to aging and disease. The connection between aging […]
How a High-Salt Diet Disrupts Circadian Rhythm and Sleep
A high-sodium diet has long been associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk. A new study conducted by University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers has found that a high-salt diet disrupts circadian rhythm timing, impacting the sleep-wake cycle. Disruptions in the sleep-wake cycle can impact sleep quality. Insufficient and poor-quality sleep are associated with an increase […]
