Abstract excerpt
Radiation therapy (RT) is commonly used to treat solid tumors of the breast, lung, and esophagus; however, the heart is an unintentional target of ionizing radiation (IR). IR exposure to the heart results in chronic toxicities including heart failure. We hypothesize that the circadian system plays regulatory roles in minimizing the IR-induced cardiotoxicity. We treated mice in control (Day Shift), environmentally...
