Summary
This paper investigates the effects of the endotoxin lipopolysaccharide on the circadian system of rats, focusing on the cellular signaling cascades in the cells of the suprachiasmatic nuclei and pineal gland.
Categories
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the effects of endotoxin lipopolysaccharide on the circadian system of rats, which is responsible for controlling cognitive functions and memory.
Immune system function and health: The paper investigates how the endotoxin lipopolysaccharide, which activates the immune response, affects the circadian system of rats.
Hormone regulation: The paper explores how the endotoxin lipopolysaccharide affects the synthesis of melatonin, a hormone, in the pineal gland of rats.
