Example sentences for: circadian

How can you use “circadian” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Deletion of the cycle gene in Drosophila produces flies that have an exaggerated homeostatic response to rest deprivation in addition to their lack of circadian rhythmicity [ 16 ] . In a striking parallel to our current results, flies with a mutation in the cryptochrome gene also exhibit increased rest time as well as a reduced compensatory response to rest deprivation (P.

  • Second, we were not previously able to examine effects of a given variable (genotype, body part) on circadian phase.

  • Furthermore, the homeostatic response to sleep deprivation does not seem to be altered in SCN-lesioned rodents [ 6 7 8 ] . Thus, the sleep characteristics of cry1,2 -/-mice do not support the concept of cry1,2 -/-mice as simply a genetic model for ablation of the circadian clock in the SCN.

  • The clock mutation in mice, which has a profound effect on circadian rhythmicity [ 33 ] , decreases NREMS time and consolidation under baseline conditions [ 34 ] . The clock sleep phenotype is the inverse of the sleep characteristics we report here for the cry1,2 -/-mice and is thus consistent with CLOCK and CRY1,2 being positive and negative transcriptional regulators, respectively.

  • LD cycles can influence the expression of sleep by entraining the circadian pacemaker that drives the diurnal rhythm of sleep and/or by directly affecting the expression of sleep, thereby 'masking' the influence of the pacemaker on sleep.
