Circadian disruption promotes tumor growth by anabolic host metabolism; experimental evidence in a rat model

Abstract Background Light at night creates a conflicting signal to the biological clock and disrupts circadian physiology. In rodents, light at night increases the risk to develop mood disorders, overweight, disrupted energy metabolism, immune dysfunction and cancer. We hypothesized that constant li...
