Abstract
ABSTRACT Membrane lipids play significant roles in cellular functions, including those controlled by circadian machinery (e.g., membrane transport). Membranes have been overlooked during the investigation of circadian mechanisms. The findings of previous studies suggest that membrane action potentials and phospholipid composition exhibit daily oscillations, which involve changes in fatty acid saturation and chain length, and are subjected to fatty chain remodeling. Thus, it is possible that membranes are affected by oscillatory output rhythms from cellular autonomous clocks. The regulation of lipid chain length and degree of unsaturation, along with resulting changes in membrane lipid polymorphic properties, may serve as the basis of an important mechanism that mediates the circadian regulation of various membrane-associated processes. However, direct evidence indicating that membrane lipid oscillations are part of the circadian machinery has yet to be reported. This review updates the current understanding of potential connections between the membrane bilayer and the circadian clock, with important implications for circadian rhythm disorders and related chronic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
期刊介绍:
The principal aim of Biological Rhythm Research is to cover any aspect of research into the broad topic of biological rhythms. The area covered can range from studies at the genetic or molecular level to those of behavioural or clinical topics. It can also include ultradian, circadian, infradian or annual rhythms. In this way, the Editorial Board tries to stimulate interdisciplinary rhythm research. Such an aim reflects not only the similarity of the methods used in different fields of chronobiology, but also the fact that many influences that exert controlling or masking effects are common. Amongst the controlling factors, attention is paid to the effects of climate change on living organisms. So, papers dealing with biometeorological aspects can also be submitted.
The Journal publishes original scientific research papers, review papers, short notes on research in progress, book reviews and summaries of activities, symposia and congresses of national and international organizations dealing with rhythmic phenomena.
