摘要:Organisms inhabiting the Earth have developed endogenous systems in order to maintain the control of time, which are able to synchronize several processes including physiological and behavioral processes. The mentioned systems are known as circadian rhythms or clocks and the description and understanding of the molecular basic mechanisms lying inside these systems has widely increased in the last decades in biological and medical studies. The understanding of the functioning of circadian clocks and the diseases and problems (obesity, cardiovascular diseases, cancer…) derived from an altered circadian system is of increasing interest. In fact, many of the aforementioned disorders are directly or indirectly related with circadian clocks.
