Reduced Expression of Circadian Clock Genes in Male Alcoholic Patients
24 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: There are clear interactions between chronic alcohol consumption and circadian rhythmicity that is regulated by several circadian clock genes. The altered expressions of these genes have been mainly described in animals. The mammalian master clock in the suprachiasmatic nuclei orchestrates the biological rhythms in peripheral tissues. As peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are the most...
