The Period Length of Fibroblast Circadian Gene Expression Varies Widely among Human Individuals
16 Sept 2005
Abstract excerpt
Mammalian circadian behavior is governed by a central clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the brain hypothalamus, and its intrinsic period length is believed to affect the phase of daily activities. Measurement of this period length, normally accomplished by prolonged subject observation, is difficult and costly in humans.
