这项研究中,队员们还鉴别出不是早晨特活跃就是夜晚特活跃的两类果蝇,然后比较、对比了两类果蝇的基因。研究人员发现,将近80种基因似乎和果蝇的“睡眠类型相关。有意思的是,这些基因并不控制我们的生物钟。相反,这些基因和一系列分子途径有关。
The ultimate goal is to find potential targets for treatments that could help people overcome their evening or morning chronotype. While that sounds a little extreme, it could help prevent a range of disorders, such as obesity and depression, which have been linked to a lifestyle that's out of whack with your body clock.
最终目的是要找到潜在治疗目标,以帮助人们克服晚睡或早起的睡眠类型。尽管这听着有点儿极端,但还是能起到预防疾病的作用,像肥胖症、忧郁症等一系列病症,都是由于生物钟和生活方式不协调所致。
"The rhythm of life is such that for many people the economic or social call to start a new day comes hours before the endogenous call from the body clock. This creates a clock dysfunction that is not only reflected in temporal disorientation and sleep problems, but also in conditions such as obesity, mental illness, cardiovascular disease and cancer," said Taubler.
“生活节奏就是这样的,大多数人都是生物钟还没醒,就因为经济压力或是社会因素开始一天的生活。这样引发的生物钟紊乱问题,不仅影响时间概念和睡眠质量,还会引发肥胖症、精神病、心血管疾病和癌症,图博如是说。
