Timing of light: Circadian and metabolic effects

Research output: PhD ThesisPhd-Thesis - Research and graduation internal

Abstract

In mammals, the circadian timing system consists of a light- sensitive central brain clock located in the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and various peripheral clocks. Disruption of this circadian system is associated with adverse health problems including adiposity and diabetes mellitus. This thesis aims to study the timing of light, and the circadian and metabolic effects on rats
