This study investigated the diurnal variation in the activity of the hepatic enzymes catalyzing conjugation and sulfation of bile acids. A circadian rhythm was noted in cholic acid : CoA ligase and glycolithocholate sulfotransferase activity. There was no diurnal variation in lithocholate sulfotransferase activity raising the possibility of multiple bile acid sulfotransferases in liver.

Background: Small nutritional preloads can reduce postprandial glucose excursions in individuals with and without metabolic syndrome or T2D. However, most studies have focused on preloads administered before single meals and have predominantly used protein-based preloads.
Objective: To investigate the effects of sequential consumption of medium chain triglycerides (MCT) and whey protein isolate (WPI) preloads before breakfast lunch and dinner on postprandial, diurnal and 24h glycaemia in individuals with T2D.

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death and the most common cancer among women worldwide. It is crucial to identify potentially modifiable risk factors to intervene and prevent breast cancer effectively. Sleep factors have emerged as a potentially novel risk factor for female breast cancer.

Dexmedetomidine (DexM), a highly selective α-adrenoceptor agonist, significantly reduces postoperative adverse effects, including sleep and circadian rhythm disruptions. Vasoactive intestinal peptide neurons in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) regulate the synchronization of circadian rhythms with the external environment in mammals. We investigate the effects of DexM on sleep and circadian rhythms, as well as the underlying mechanisms.

A circadian clock is reconstituted in vitro by incubating three proteins, KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC from the non-nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 in the presence of ATP. Leptolyngbya boryana is a filamentous cyanobacterium that grows diazotrophically under microoxic conditions. Among the aforementioned proteins, KaiC is the main clock oscillator belonging to the RecA ATPase superfamily.

Radon (Rn) and thoron (Rn) were reported as the highest contributors to natural radiation received by humans. Furthermore, radon has been stated as the second-highest cause of lung cancer. The concentrations of U and Th (the parent nuclide of radon and thoron, respectively) in nature vary with geological conditions and can be enhanced by human activities.
