Circadian rhythms in metabolic variables in Caenorhabditis elegans

Circadian rhythms govern a wide variety of physiological and metabolic functions in most organisms through neural networks, hormones and gene expression. In this work, we studied the circadian variation in metabolic variables of adult C. elegans such as food consumption, pharyngeal contractions, defecation and oxygen consumption. Feeding behavior was clearly rhythmic under LD conditions, with […]
