Circadian Rhythm
A circadian rhythm (/sərˈkeɪdiən/), or circadian cycle, is a natural, internal process that regulates the sleep–wake cycle and repeats roughly every 24 hours. It can refer to any process that originates within an organism (is endogenous) and responds to the environment (entrained by the environment).

- Cross-Sex Hormone Therapy Is Associated With Loss of Circadian Rhythm in the Male Ratby Jordan H Mallette on December 5, 2024
CONCLUSIONS: Thus, these data indicate that the type of combination therapy utilized may exert differential effects on blood pressure and that disruption of circadian rhythm may be a contributory factor to the increased risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes in transgender women exposed to high 17β-estradiol coupled to androgen suppression.
- Circadian Dysfunction in the Skeletal Muscle Impairs Limb Perfusion and Muscle Regeneration in Peripheral Artery Diseaseby Pei Zhu on December 5, 2024
CONCLUSIONS: Circadian clock in skeletal muscle is crucial for the muscle's response to hypoxia during hindlimb ischemia. Targeting the muscle circadian clock may have therapeutic potential for enhancing muscle response to reduced blood flow and promoting recovery in conditions such as PAD.
