The physiological significance of the circadian dynamics of the HPA axis: Interplay between circadian rhythms, allostasis and stress resilience.

November 17, 2019
Horm Behav. 2019 Apr;110:77-89. doi: 10.1016/j.yhbeh.2019.02.018. Epub 2019 Mar 15. Abstract Circadian time-keeping mechanisms preserve homeostasis by synchronizing internal physiology with predictable variations in the environment and temporally organize the activation of physiological signaling mechanisms to promote survival and optimize the allocation of energetic resources. In this paper, we highlight the importance of the robust circadian...
