Assessment of circadian rhythms in humans: comparison of real‐time fibroblast reporter imaging with plasma melatonin
27 Feb 2012
Abstract excerpt
We compared the period of the rhythm of plasma melatonin, driven by the hypothalamic circadian pacemaker, to in vitro periodicity in cultured peripheral fibroblasts to assess the effects on these rhythms of a polymorphism of PER3 (rs57875989), which is associated with sleep timing. In vitro circadian period was determined using luminometry of cultured fibroblasts, in which the expression of firefly luciferase was...
