Скачать или смотреть Circadian regulation of cortisol, the stress hormone

Dr. Frank Scheer discusses work from Dr. Charles Czeisler, a physician and leading researcher on the effects of light on human physiology, circadian rhythms and sleep medicine. Cortisol is a steroid hormone that can help the body respond to stress or danger. In Dr. Czeisler’s work, even under the stress of imminent cardiac surgery, the cortisol peak was matched by the natural morning peak driven by circadian rhythms.

Guest, Dr. Frank Scheer, is the Director of the Medical Chronobiology Program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH), Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Senior Neuroscientist at BWH.
