The risk of having metabolic disturbances has increased in society becoming even more common in young people. Night working is closely associated with components of the metabolic syndrome including diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. Disturbances in circadian timing and sleep-wake patterns are associated with metabolic disease. This project aims to study metabolic disturbances …

During the climacteric, many women report sleep problems, which can influence food preferences and lead to poor eating habits. Factors associated with night work, such as greater sleep restriction and circadian misalignment, also make it difficult to choose a healthy diet. In addition, exposure to light during night work leads to a decrease in melatonin, which may alter the duration and q…
Women report sleep problems from perimenopause to postmenopause, in addition to other symptoms such as hot flashes and weight gain, problems that are often accompanied by depression and anxiety. Considering that night work reduces the production of melatonin, consequently modifying the response to steroid hormones, it is assumed that the climacteric has its effects potentiated among night…
Circadian rhythms can be understood as physiological, behavioral and biochemical events that take place in the human body over a period of about 24 hours, and food and other environmental factors can cause the sleep-wake cycle. Food is related to the secretion of hormones and peripheral oscillators that are important markers of the sleep-wake cycle. In addition, depending on the phase of …

The worldwide prevalence of obesity has become a challenge for public health all over the world. Given that the different interventions proposed to treat excess weight are not effective enough to control the reduction in obesity rates, the need for a deeper understanding of the factors associated with obesity becomes evident. From this perspective, chrononutritional factors have the poten…
Light intake is a key for circadian rhythms regulation. The modern society, however, is exposed not only to natural light but also to electrical light, which inhibits sleep promotion and may disrupt the circadian temporal system. Nevertheless, we still do not know how much light we need to synchronize the circadian system to the light-dark cycle and in order to stay healthy. In previous i…
