Is Artificial Light Throwing Off Your Circadian Clock?
Did you know your circadian clock is an actual part of
your body? And not just a single part of your body, but part of a system tied
to nearly every cell and bodily function. Composed of genes and proteins, your
biological clock constitutes an intricate series of interacting molecular
pathways throughout your body that operate in a feedback loop. Each unique gene
and protein regulates specific functions in almost every single cell in your
body. These clocks are found in nearly every tissue and organ. And not just in your
body, biological clocks exist in almost all organisms including plants, fungi
and bacteria. But new research is demonstrating that late night artificial
light could activate the liver’s circadian clock, throwing rhythms out of
balance.
