Ticking Of Body’s 24-Hour Clock Turns Gears Of Metabolism And Aging
All animals, including humans, have an internal 24-hour clock or circadian rhythm that creates a daily oscillation of body temperature, brain activity, hormone production and metabolism. Studying mice, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Northwestern University found how the biological circadian clock mechanism communicates with processes that govern aging and metabolism.
Reported March 19, 2009 through advance online publication in Science, their findings can potentially explain why the waning of the circadian rhythm with age could contribute to age-related disorders such as insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
