.... elegans , in whole animals and in various preparations, C. elegans offers the true possibility of an integrated approach to TRPM channel function using analyses that range from molecular properties to whole-animal functions. Ultradian rhythms, i.e. rhythmic processes with a period of less than 1...

... levels shows genetic modulation, can change according to the physiological and pathological status of the animal and can be programmed by neonatal events. Since the tissue response to changes in circulating glucocorticoid levels can be very rapid, changes in ultradian rhythm could allow tissue-specific...
