Summary
This paper investigates the effect of estradiol and progesterone on the expression of Per1 and Per2 genes in rat choroid plexus epithelial cells, finding that estradiol, but not progesterone, induced high expression of Per1 and Per2.
Categories
Hormone regulation: The paper investigates the effect of the hormones estradiol and progesterone on the expression of Per1 and Per2 genes in rat choroid plexus epithelial cells.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the role of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in the hypothalamus, which is involved in cognitive functions such as the regulation of circadian rhythms.
Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses the role of the SCN in regulating sleep-wake cycles, and how this can be influenced by hormones.
