In this section we propose a mathematical model of the circadian cycle that can be seen as a drastic two-steps simplification of the model of Leloup and Goldbeter [7] leading to a
Goldbeter and Leloup [1, 2] also focus on the behavior of the concentrations over time under some light-dark alternation patterns: they compare the circadian cycle when there is
Figure: Model for circadian oscillations in mammals involving interlocked negative and positive regulations of Per, Cry, Bmal1 genes by their protein products(Leloup and
Young mPer1/ mCry2 double mutants display a very long free-running period and lose rhythmicity with progressing age while mPer2/ mCry1 mutants have no functional clock at all..
To answer the question whether low temperature affects the circadian clockwork, we studied the expression of an essential ‘clock’ gene, Period2 (Per2), in the
Restricted feeding can induce changes in the phase of circadian gene expression of the liver and other peripheral or- gans without affecting the phase of the rhythms in the SCN,
Furthermore, mice expressing constitutively active PP1 inhibitors in the brain displayed behavioral rhythms with a longer period length (Figure 2C) than control mice, suggesting
