DOWNLOAD EBOOK(Chapters 11 to 14) summarise important features of the biological clock at the level of whole animal covering all vertebrate classes (fish to mammal). Chapters 15 and 16 are on long term (seasonal) rhythms in plants and higher vertebrates. Short term rhythms (ultradian rhythms), the significance of having a clock system in animals living in extreme (arctic) environments, and the diversity of circadian responses to melatonin, the key endocrine element involved in regulation of biological rhythms, have been discussed in Chapters 17 to 19. Finally, a chapter on sensitivity to light of the photoperiodic clock is added which, using vertebrate examples, illustrates the importance of wavelength and intensity of light on circadian and non-circadian functions. A well-known expert writes each chapter. When presenting information, the text provides consistent thematic coverage and feeling for the methods of investigation. Reference citation within the body of the text adequately reflects the literature as subject is developed. A chapter begins with an abstract that enables a reader to know at the first glance the important points covered in that chapter. The chapter concludes with a full citation of references included in the text, which could be useful for further reading. The book ends with a comprehensive subject index that may be useful for quick searches.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRecent years have seen spectacular advances in the field of circadian biology. These have attracted the interest of researchers in many fields, including endocrinology, neurosciences, cancer, and behavior. By integrating a circadian view within the fields of endocrinology and metabolism, researchers will be able to reveal many, yet-unsuspected aspects of how organisms cope with changes in the environment and subsequent control of homeostasis. This field is opening new avenues in our understanding of metabolism and endocrinology. A panel of the most distinguished investigators in the field gathered together to discuss the present state and the future of the field. The editors trust that this volume will be of use to those colleagues who will be picking up the challenge to unravel how the circadian clock can be targeted for the future development of specific pharmacological strategies toward a number of pathologies.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBiological, or circadian, clocks govern such functions as sleeping and waking, rest and activity, body temperature, and oxygen consumption. Chronobiology strives to understand how cells generate circadian rhythms through molecular processes of transcription and translation. Drawing on the recent revolutionary advances in biology and genetics, Molecular Biology of Circadian Rhythms presents a comprehensive account of the current state of chronobiology, delivering a ready resource for students and practitioners. Editor Amita Sehgal assembles chapters contributed by leading experts in the molecular analysis of circadian rhythms, representing the state of the art in this emerging discipline. The text begins with a general introduction to biochemical and biophysical aspects of circadian timing, then proceeds to its essential focus on collating the newest information on molecular mechanisms of circadian rhythms. It includes a chapter on the implications for clinical research on affective disorders, sleep disorders, and the relevance for therapeutic treatment, as well as coverage of multiple oscillators and hormonal rhythms. Sections include: Molecular Control of Circadian Rhythms: Animal Models Molecular Control of Circadian Rhythms: From Cyanobacteria to Plants Circadian Organization in Complex Organisms Chapter topics include examinations of circadian rhythms in non-mammalian vertebrates, neurospora, and humans. Advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and medical students in molecular biology, physiology, and neuroscience will appreciate this timely reference.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBiological rhythms, such as the sleep-wake cycle or circadian clock, are an intriguing aspect of biology. The regulation of daily rhythmicity has long been a mystery, up until the mid-1980's when a key gene in the fruitfly, Drosophila melanogaster, was molecularly identified. Genetic and molecular chronobiology of Drosophila has been a driving force in this field of inquiry ever since. Genetics and Molecular Biology of Rhythms in Drosophila and Other Insects describes and evaluates all of the studies of this sort, discussing the manner by which these investigations have spread out in various directions of rhythmic biology, including genetic and molecular approaches used on other insect species. Discusses rhythm genetics in insects, from early investigations to current state-of-the-art Presents all relevant mutants and genes Highlights the mystery of the "clock mechanism" in full detail including the remaining puzzles to be solved
