Research leads to healthful strategies for re-setting the body’s clock
Pioneering research conducted by Kent State professor Dr. David Glass has shown the body’s clock can be re-set – good news for people who work swing shifts, experience jet lag or take anti-depressants.
Glass, known internationally as the first researcher to measure serotonin release from the brain’s biological clock region, has become the first to extract, identify and measure a neuropeptide crucial to the regulation of the body’s clock. Glass found the neuropeptide can be used to re-set the biological clock when it has been disrupted.
