Light-induced hormone surge points to benefits of light therapy
A report in the November Cell Metabolism reveals powerful effects of light on the adrenal glands, a finding that might explain the broad benefits of bright light therapy for a variety of conditions, including sleep and depressive disorders, according to researchers. view more (2005-11-09)
Travelers can avoid jet lag by resetting their body clocks
A simple, at-home treatment - a single light box and the over-the-counter drug melatonin - allows travelers to avoid jet lag by resetting their circadian body clock before crossing several time zones. view more (2005-11-02)

The hormone of darkness: melatonin could hurt memory formation at night
What do you do when a naturally occurring hormone in your body turns against you? What do you do when that same hormone - melatonin - is a popular supplement you take to help you sleep? A University of Houston professor and his team of researchers may have some answers. view more (2007-11-16)
Artificial light at night stimulates breast cancer growth in laboratory mice
Results from a new study in laboratory mice show that nighttime exposure to artificial light stimulated the growth of human breast tumors by suppressing the levels of a key hormone called melatonin. view more (2005-12-20)
Study demonstrates role of exercise in modifying melatonin levels
Moderate physical activity, which is believed to help reduce the risk of breast cancer, may do so because it increases production of a hormone believed to have protective effects against the disease, a Canadian research team has learned. view more (2005-12-02)

Genes, brain chemistry may dictate nicotine cravings, says CU-Boulder study
Individual brain chemistry and genes could be key to understanding why some people become addicted to nicotine and why the chemical compound's effects appear to diminish at night. view more (2007-11-07)
Research finds antioxidant therapies do not interfere with radiation treatment
Cancer patients can get the vital nutritional benefits from taking antioxidants without the risk of interfering with radiation treatment, according to research findings being presented this weekend at the Society of Integrative Oncology's Third International Conference in Boston. view more (2006-11-10)
Melatonin Most Effective For Sleep When Taken For Off-Hour Sleeping
Researchers from the Divisions of Sleep Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School have found in a double-blind placebo-controlled clinical study, that melatonin, taken orally during non-typical sleep times, significantly improves an individual's ability to sleep. view more (2006-05-01)
Salivary melatonin may decrease periodontal disease severity according to new study findings

High rates of skin cancer among airline pilots
Rates and types of cancer were assessed in 458 pilots, 265 of whom flew the national Icelandic airline across European and transAtlantic routes. These were then compared with the rates of cancer expected to develop in the population as a whole, gathered from data supplied by the national cancer registry, according to age. view more (2000-02-14)

Melatonin improves mood in winter depression
Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University(OHSU) have found that melatonin, a naturally occurring brain substance, can relieve the doldrums of winter depression, also known as seasonal affective disorder, or SAD. view more (2006-05-02)
Research says massage may help infants sleep more, cry less and be less stressed
New research by a team at the University of Warwick says that massage may help infants aged under six months sleep better, cry less and be less stressed. view more (2006-11-09)
Cicardian system suffers and protects from prenatal cocaine exposure
Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have shown that prenatal cocaine exposure in zebrafish (which share the majority of the same genes with humans) can alter neuronal development and acutely dysregulate the expression of circadian genes and those affecting melatonin signaling, growth and neurotransmission. view more (2007-07-11)

A study in Switzerland uses the tools of physics to show how our circadian clocks manage to keep accurate time in the noisy cellular environment. view more (2007-03-13)
New study finds that ramelteon shows potential for circadian phase shifting
Results from a new study to further explore the mechanistic action of ramelteon suggest it may have the ability to shift the biological circadian rhythm - one's natural 24-hour sleep-wake cycle - based on a study model designed to examine this potential. view more (2006-05-23)
To sleep, perchance to dream: New insight into melatonin production
In the April 1 issue of G&D, a Korean research team led by Dr. Kyong-Tai Kim (Pohang University) describes how melatonin production is coordinated with the body's natural sleep/wake cycles. view more (2007-04-02)
