Clinical Studies
| Investigate the expression of genes controlling the circadian pacemaker |
Principal investigator : Diane B. Boivin
Description of the study :
The aim of the study is to investigate the expression of genes controlling the circadian pacemaker. This circadian pacemaker is the biological clock that controls your daily rhythms of body temperature, hormone levels, urine production, vigilance, performance, mood, time perception, and sleep organization.
Financial compensations :
yes
Benefits
The results of this study will help us better understand the underlying mechanisms of the biological clock which may provide useful solutions to some of the problems caused by jet-lag and shift work.
Risks and discomforts
Medical monitoring, blood samples, frequent visits.
Eligibility criteria :
- Men, between 18 and 30
- Good sleep quality
- No health problems
- Have not travelled across more than 2 time zones in the past 3 months
