Circadian Rhythms and Oxidative Stress in Non-vertebrate Organisms

  • Chapter
The Redox State and Circadian Rhythms

Abstract

Several lines of evidence suggest that the circadian organization of living beings is important for avoiding excessive oxidative stress under physiological conditions. In the dinoflagellate Gonyaulax polyedra, activities of various protective enzymes and concentrations of radical scavengers exhibit circadian rhythms. Protein carbonyl as an indicator of oxidative stress also varies in a rhythmic fashion. In the Drosophila melanogaster clock mutants per 0 and per s, protein carbonyl is enhanced. The chronobiotic melatonin is capable of contributing to antioxidative protection. On the other hand, melatonin and structurally related indolic compounds possessing radical-scavenging properties can be destroyed by oxidative stress, as shown in Gonyaulax; therefore, oxidative stress can suppress and perturb rhythmic functions.
