The impact of the circadian timing system on cardiovascular and metabolic functionChristopher J Morris
Division of Sleep Medicine, Brigham and Women s Hospital, Boston, MA, USA
Prog Brain Res 199:337-58. 2012..This suggests that misalignment between the behavioral cycle and the circadian timing system in shift workers contributes to that population's increased risk for cardiometabolic disease...
Paradoxical post-exercise responses of acylated ghrelin and leptin during a simulated night shiftChristopher J Morris
Research Institute for Sport and Exercise Sciences, Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool, United Kingdom
Chronobiol Int 27:590-605. 2010..These findings differ from the known effects of exercise on acylated ghrelin and leptin during the day, and therefore have implications for energy balance during night work...
Circadian system, sleep and endocrinologyChristopher J Morris
Division of Sleep Medicine, Brigham and Women s Hospital, Boston, MA, United States
Mol Cell Endocrinol 349:91-104. 2012..Further research is needed to determine the underlying mechanisms that cause the negative effects induced by circadian misalignment. Such research could aid the development of novel countermeasures for circadian misalignment...
The internal circadian clock increases hunger and appetite in the evening independent of food intake and other behaviorsFrank A J L Scheer
Medical Chronobiology Program, Division of Sleep Medicine, Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women s Hospital, Boston, MA, USA Division of Sleep Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Harvard University, Boston, MA, USA
Obesity (Silver Spring) 21:421-3. 2013..We assessed whether this paradox could be explained by an endogenous circadian influence on appetite with a morning trough, while controlling for sleep/wake and fasting/feeding effects...
Repeated melatonin supplementation improves sleep in hypertensive patients treated with beta-blockers: a randomized controlled trialFrank A J L Scheer
Medical Chronobiology Program, Division of Sleep Medicine, Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Sleep 35:1395-402. 2012..Therefore, we tested whether nightly melatonin supplementation improves sleep in hypertensive patients treated with beta-blockers...
