Opis

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters.

Providing a nuanced study of the connections between sleep, circadian rhythms, and metabolis, this informative book examines how circadian actions affect the liver and adipose tissue, the brain, and metabolism. This important book introduces the reader to circadian rhythms in

Recenzje

"This is a compilation of recent research in the field of circadian rhythms, sleep, and metabolism, exploring the connections between these concepts and how perturbations of these rhythms manifest in disorders of metabolism and sleep. ... The primary audience is researchers and scientists with an interest in the interrelationship between circadian neurobiology, metabolism, and sleep. ... This is a noteworthy contribution to the field that brings together current knowledge at the intersection of circadian rhythms, sleep, and metabolism."
