8h Rhythms of endothelin and GI tract hormones

Posted by HughesM on 13 May 2009 at 18:30 GMT

It's been brought to our attention that previous work has identified 8h biological rhythms of endothelin and GI tract hormones. We refer the interested reader to:

1. Tarquini B, Perfetto F, Tarquini R, Cornelissen G, Halberg F.
Endothelin-1's chronome indicates diabetic and vascular disease
chronorisk. Peptides 1997; 18: 119-132.

2. Tarquini B, Cornelissen G, Perfetto F, Tarquini R, Halberg F.
About-half-weekly (circasemiseptan) component of the endothelin-1 (ET-1)
chronome and vascular disease risk. Peptides 1997; 18: 1237-1241.

3. Herold M, Corn
lissen G, Loeckinger A, Koeberle D, Koenig P, Halberg F. About 8-hourly
variation of circulating human endothelin-1 (ET-1) in clinical health.
Peptides 1998; 19: 821-825.

4. Katinas GS, Halberg F, Cornelissen G, Hawkins D, Bueva MV, Korzhevsky
DE, Sapozhnikova LR, Rhodus N, Schaffer E. About 8- and ~84-hour rhythms
in endotheliocytes as in endothelin 1 and effect of trauma. Peptides 2001;
22: 647-659.
