Stress with disrupted body clock increases risk of metabolic disease
Everyday stress coupled with disruptions to the body’s internal clock may increase the risks of developing metabolic disorders including obesity and type 2 diabetes, according to a study presented at the Society for Endocrinology annual conference in Brighton. These mouse…
Stress hormone helps control the circadian rhythm of brain cells
As day turns into night, and night turns into day, the vast majority of living organisms follow a fixed circadian rhythm that controls everything from sleep needs to body temperature. This internal clock is found in everything from bacteria to…

Glucose wears down circadian clocks in obesity, may drive cardiovascular risk
AUGUSTA, Ga. (Oct. 22, 2019) – High glucose in obesity appears to gum up the works of the circadian clocks inside our cells that help regulate the timing of many body functions across the 24-hour day and drive the risk…
Daily exposure to blue light may accelerate aging, even if it doesn’t reach your eyes
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Prolonged exposure to blue light, such as that which emanates from your phone, computer and household fixtures, could be affecting your longevity, even if it’s not shining in your eyes. New research at Oregon State University suggests…
