Abstract excerpt
Arterial pressure (AP), heart rate (HR), and cardiovascular diseases, including ischemic heart attack and cerebrovascular accident, show diurnal variation. Evidence that circadian-related genes contribute to cardiovascular control has been accumulated. In this study, we measured the AP and HR of Clock mutant mice on the Jcl/ICR background to determine the role of the Clock gene in cardiovascular function. Mice...
