Abstract excerpt
Oestrogen regulates various aspects of circadian rhythm physiology. The presence of oestrogen receptors within the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), the principal circadian oscillator, indicates that some actions of oestrogen on circadian functions may be exerted at that site. The present study analysed sex differences, topographic distribution, and neurochemical phenotype of neurones expressing the alpha and beta...
