The impact of sleep education, light intervention and relaxation on sleep and mood in the elderly
Chronobiol Int. 2024 Apr 11:1-10. doi: 10.1080/07420528.2024.2337007. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSleep and light education (SLE) combined with relaxation is a potential method of addressing sleep and affective problems in older people. 47 participants took part in a four-week sleep education program. SLE was conducted once a week for 60-90 minutes. Participants were instructed on sleep and light hygiene, sleep processes, and practiced relaxation techniques. Participants were wearing actigraphs for 6 weeks, completed daily sleep diaries, and wore blue light-blocking glasses 120 minutes before bedtime. Measures included s...

The Japanese version of the reduced morningness-eveningness questionnaire
This study aimed to develop and validate the Japanese version of the rMEQ. Five essential items for the rMEQ were selected from existing Japanese MEQ data (N = 2,213), and the rMEQ was compiled. We conducted a confirmatory factor analysis for the psychometric properties of the rMEQ and confirmed its robust one-factor structure for evaluating morningness-eveningness (GFI = 0.984, AGFI = 0.951, CFI = 0.935, and RMSEA = 0.091). Reliability was evaluated via internal consistency of rMEQ items using Cronbach's α and McDonald's ω, and the values were 0.618 and 0.654, respectively. The rMEQ scores strongly correlated with MEQ (...

Melatonin-mediated corrective changes in gut microbiota of experimentally chronodisrupted C57BL/6J mice
Chronobiol Int. 2024 Apr 1:1-13. doi: 10.1080/07420528.2024.2329205. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChronic consumption of a high-calorie diet coupled with an altered sleep-wake cycle causes disruption of circadian clock that can impact the gut microbiome leading to metabolic syndrome and associated diseases. Herein, we investigate the effects of a high fat high fructose diet (H) alone or in combination with photoperiodic shifts induced chronodisruption (CD) on gut microbiota of C57BL/6J male mice. Further, the merits of daily evening intraperitoneal administration of melatonin in restoring gut microbiota are studied herein...

Circadian patterns and photoperiodic modulation of clock gene expression and neuroendocrine hormone secretion in the marine teleost < em > Larimichthys crocea < /em >
This study focuses on exploring the impact of different light regimes (LD: 12 h of light and 12 h of darkness; LL: 24 h of light and 0 h of darkness; DD: 0 h of light and 24 h of darkness) on the expression of clock genes (LcClocka, LcClockb, LcBmal, LcPer1, LcPer2) and the secretion of hormones (melatonin, GnRH, NPY) in the large yellow croaker, Larimichthys crocea. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were utilized to assess how photoperiod variations affect clock gene expression and hormone secretion. The results indicate that changes in photoperiod can disrupt the rhythmic pattern...
