Gastroenterology 133:1250-60. 2007..We hypothesized that clock genes are present in the gastrointestinal tract and that they are part of a functional molecular clock that coordinates rhythmic physiologic functions... 
Host S-nitrosylation inhibits clostridial small molecule-activated glucosylating toxinsTor C Savidge
