Daily protein changes in aging and Parkinson's-like rats and how melatonin influences them

AI simplified

Abstract

In 3-month-old rats, the number of proteins showing day-night variations in the suprachiasmatic nucleus and substantia nigra was greater than in 12-month, 24-month, and rotenone-induced Parkinson's disease models.

  • Aging is associated with changes in the circadian timing system, leading to dysfunction.
  • Significant alterations in core clock gene expression levels were observed in aging and Parkinson's disease models.
  • In pineal glands, an increase in proteins with day-night variations was noted in 24-month-old rats.
  • Melatonin administration may modulate the chronomics of protein profiles in aging and Parkinson's disease.
  • Several proteins exhibiting significant day-night variations were identified for the first time in this study.
