Consequences of desynchronization of the circadian system by constant light
 Petrželková, Lucie ; Bendová, Zdeňka (advisor) ; Honzlová, Petra (referee)
The circadian clock exists in every organism and their period is approximately 24 hours. This circadian rhythm is maintained even in a completely non-periodic environment but must be adapted to a precise 24-hour solar cycle using a synchronizer, called zeitgeber. The main controlling organ of the circadian rhythm are the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) in the ventral hypothalamus. There are also peripheral clocks, for example in the liver or lungs. These peripheral clocks operate autonomously but the SCNs synchronize them with their own period and phase. The most important zeitgeber is the light and dark alternation. This bachelor thesis describes the consequences of conditions where there is no regular light and dark alternation and constant light conditions are established instead. Constant light can disturb the circadian rhythm and desynchronize the circadian clocks. This bachelor thesis summarizes the scientific knowledge of desynchronization by the effect of constant light and briefly describes the selected pathologies resulting from the desynchronization of the circadian system. Selected pathologies include ovarian tumour and breast cancer, obesity and insulin resistance, immunosenescense and schizophrenia. Key words constant light, circadian system, suprachiasmatic nucleus
