We carried out a comparative analysis of circadian rhythms of melatonin secretion in Caucasian menopausal women with and without insomnia depending on the 3111T/C polymorphism of the Clock gene. Melatonin levels was measured in the saliva 4 times a day (06.00-07.00, 12.00-13.00, 18.00-19.00, and 23.00-00.00 h). Carriers of the TT genotype with insomnia demonstrated significantly higher level of melatonin in the early morning hours compared to the carriers of the minor allele C (12.60±7.58 and 8.98±8.62 pg/ml, respectively, p=0.023). In the control group, no statistically significant differences were revealed. The carriers of the TT genotype with sleep disorders have higher morning melatonin level compared to control group women (12.60±7.58 and 5.48±4.74 pg/ml, respectively, p=0.005) and low nocturnal melatonin level (6.42±4.97 and 12.52±10.40 pg/ml, respectively, p=0.039).

Background: CLOCK 3111T/C has been shown to be closely associated with morningness-eveningness, such as sleep-wake rhythms in healthy humans. However, previous studies examined the physical activity (PA) in a single day, and no study has investigated the relationships between CLOCK 3111T/C polymorphism and PA for an entire week. It was hypothesized that the CLOCK 3111T/C polymorphism might be associated with diurnal PA patterns, especially on the weekends.

The effectiveness of weight loss treatment displays dramatic inter-individual variabilities, even with well-controlled energy intake/expenditure. This study aimed to determine the association between daily rhythms of cardiac autonomic control and weight loss efficiency and to explore the potential relevance to weight loss resistance in humans carrying the genetic variant C at 3111T/C. A total of 39 overweight/obese Caucasian women (20 3111C carriers and 19 non-carriers) completed a behaviour-dietary obesity treatment of ~20 weeks, during which body weight was assessed weekly.

Lipid profile comparative analysis was performed to reveal the interdependence of lipids with () 3111T/C gene polymorphism in menopausal women with/without a body mass index (BMI) of ≥25 kg/m. Methods: A total of 193 female volunteers aged 45 to 60 years were divided into two groups: Those with BMI < 25 kg/m (control) and those with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m. Each group was then divided into two subgroups: Those with the -genotype and those with the , -genotypes.

A comparative analysis of lipid peroxidation processes and antioxidant defense system in Caucasian menopausal women with/without insomnia depending on the genotype of Clock 3111T/C gene polymorphism was performed. Two hundred and fourteen Caucasian menopausal women divided into control (without insomnia) and main group (with insomnia) were examined. Lipid peroxidation (conjugated dienes, thiobarbituric acid reactants) and antioxidant defense system parameters (?-tocopherol, retinol, reduced and oxidized glutathione, glutathione S-transferase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, superoxide dismutase) were determined by spectrofluorophotometer and immunoenzymometric methods.
