| Popis: | This is the first of five continuing education articles focusing on chronobiology, one of the newest of the biological disciplines. This article provides an overview of the discipline of chronobiology; the next four articles will address specific areas in more detail. Because it influences all aspects of biology and medicine, chronobiology is considered an integrating discipline. This article focuses on the circadian frequency, which characterizes most metabolizing events in physiological functions; presents an analysis of timeseries data; and discusses how temporal organization can influence basic science and clinical medicine. Remaining installments in this series will focus on chronobiology and its relation to the endocrine system, melatonin, and acute myocardial infarction; and the application of chronopharmacology in cancer medicine. |
