| Description | Resetting the circadian clock leads to well being and increased life span, whereas clock disruption is associated with aging and morbidity. Increased longevity and improved health can be achieved by different feeding regimens that reset circadian rhythms and may lead to better synchrony in metabolism and physiology. This review focuses on recent findings concerning the relationships between circadian rhythms, aging attenuation, and life-span extension in mammals. | |||

This is a relatively recent review article [2011] that is looking at the circadian rhythm and its relationship to aging. One of the highlights of this resource in the manner in which it clearly explains the circadian rhythm and the different systems involved. The review also considers the effects of calorie restriction and metabolism on the circadian clock and its role in aging.

This is an excellent review for any instructor trying to update lecture material on circadian rhythms. There is an authoritative listing of key references to the primary literature.
