“…Although there is presently no evidence for regulation of this sort in the ultradian domain (minutes to hours), wideranging metabolic oscillations have in fact been described in circadian studies of plants and animals. For example, circadian changes in cellular redox were described in plants several decades ago (16), and robust 24-hr oscillations of reduced glutathione are commonly observed in mammalian cells (17). It may be significant that restricted feeding, which acutely alters reduced glutathione levels, resets the phases of circadian clocks in many mammalian tissues (17)(18)(19).…”
