Abstract
Circadian rhythms may significantly influence disease conditions and drug efficacy.
- Circadian rhythms regulate various bodily processes in a 24-hour cycle.
- Disruptions in these rhythms are linked to an increase in lifestyle diseases.
- Certain medications may work better and have lower toxicity when administered at specific times aligned with the circadian cycle.
- Chronotherapeutics aims to improve treatment outcomes by timing drug delivery to coincide with biological rhythms.
- Controlled drug release technologies could enhance the effectiveness of treatments for diseases affected by circadian rhythms.
