Keeping an eye on circadian time in clinical research and medicine.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36567263

PI: N. Goel

Note: From the abstract: “Daily rhythms are observed in humans and almost all other organisms. Most of these observed rhythms reflect both underlying endogenous circadian rhythms and evoked responses from behaviors such as sleep/wake, eating/fasting, rest/activity, posture changes and exercise. For many research and clinical purposes, it is important to understand the contribution of the endogenous circadian component to these observed rhythms.” This article may be obtained online without charge.
