Circadian dyschronism and chronotypic ecophilia as factors in aging and longevity.

摘要: By “circadian dyschronism” we mean the absence of a strong daily rhythm in an organism where normally one is found (Halberg, 1973; Ehret and Dobra, 1976). Ecophilia (from ekos, home, philia, liking) means satisfaction with one’s immediate environment (Meinert et al., 1975). But warm-loving thermophiles sun-loving photophiles this world display constancy fickle lovers; their affections are usually turned on off temporal fashion that circadian chronotypic — to say time-of-day dependent or, more precisely (and whether they “know it” or not), upon phase organism’s cell cycle (Bunning, Ehret, 1974; 1977).
