Circadian misalignment by environmental light/dark shifting causes circadian disruption in colon.

<h4>Background</h4>Physiological circadian rhythms (CRs) are complex processes with 24-hour oscillations that regulate diverse biological functions. Chronic weekly light/dark (LD) shifting (CR disruption; CRD) in mice results in colonic hyperpermeability. However, the mechanisms behind t...
