Our brains also regulate thousands of complex functions, usually without bothering the conscious us with the exact details, such as with circadian rhythm,...

Altering the function of the clock circadian regulator (CLOCK) and brain and muscle ARNT - like protein 1 (BMAL1), which keep cellular functions synchronized with day - night rhythms, could treat metabolic problems.

«The «misalignment» or mismatch between early school start times and teens» circadian rhythms — which normally shift later with puberty — may worsen self - regulation or so - called «executive functioning,»» says Owens.

PER2: Deletion of the PER2 gene in mice, associated with the mechanisms of circadian rhythm, appears to improve DNA repair in stem cell populations relevant to the immune system, resulting in a healhier immune cell population, better immune function in old age, and a modestly extended life span.

These include altered and / or decreased immune system function (possibly linked to infections and allergies), collagen loss (think wrinkles), decreased muscle synthesis, increased abdominal fat, bone breakdown, decreased intestinal immunity (possibly leading to GI infections), damage to the lining of the intestines (or leaky gut syndrome), increased stomach acid secretion (think heartburn and ulcers), hippoacampus destruction (leading to problems with circadian rhythm, memory, and causing a feed - forward vicious stress cycle), increased blood pressure, thyroid hormone imbalances, «shutdown» of the reproductive system (possibly leading to miscarriage or infertility), and more.

The authors of the review suggested that cirrhosis can affect function in the area of the brain that regulates our circadian rhythm and this explains the sleep disruption associated with liver disease.

«By directly interacting with melatonin receptors in the brain and peripheral tissues, environmental chemicals, such as carbaryl, may disrupt key physiological processes leading to misaligned circadian rhythms, sleep patterns, and altered metabolic functions increasing the risk for chronic diseases such as diabetes and metabolic disorders,» said Dubocovich.
