Redox Cycles and Non-Genetic Controls in the Body's Daily Rhythms

Circadian Biology Weekly Brief ↗PubMed ↗DOI ↗

Updated

Abstract

Circadian cycles of oxidation and reduction are conserved across all domains of life.

  • Circadian rhythms are present in all living organisms, from bacteria to humans.
  • Traditionally, circadian rhythms have been explained by transcription-translation feedback loops (TTFLs).
  • New findings indicate that circadian rhythms can also occur through redox reactions, independent of transcriptional cycles.
  • Non-TTFL mechanisms may operate alongside genetic processes to produce recognizable circadian behaviors.
