Objective: This study presents a comprehensive analysis of electrochemical skin conductance (ESC) values collected from over 1.9 million measurements using Withings Body Scan and Body Comp scales. It aimed at establishing descriptive values for ESC while correcting for the influence of age, sex, and circadian and seasonal variations on sudomotor function.

Aim: Autoimmune diseases, characterized by the immune system mistakenly attacking the body's own tissues, are a growing global concern, with increasing prevalence. The circadian clock is a fundamental regulator of physiological processes, critically modulating immune functions. This review explores the intricate connections between circadian rhythms and immune responses in autoimmune pathogenesis and how disruptions exacerbate disease.

This study examines how dietary nutrient patterns vary among individuals with different chronotypes. In other words, this research explores the potential connections between nutrient intake and circadian rhythm. In this secondary data analysis, we used data from 3,072 adult participants (mean age: 30.

Neuronal connectivity in the circadian clock network is essential for robust endogenous timekeeping. In the circadian clock network, the small ventral lateral neurons (sLNs) serve as critical pacemakers. Peptidergic communication mediated by the neuropeptide (PDF), released by sLNs, has been well characterized.

Background: Recent studies have established a connection between circadian rhythm disruption and the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), yet the underlying genetic mechanisms remain inadequately understood. This research aims to elucidate the causal relationships between circadian rhythm-related genes and T2DM by utilising a multi-omics approach.

Methods: The study employed the GeneCards database to identify genes associated with circadian rhythms.
