Body Clocks Cause Wounds Sustained at Night to Heal More Slowly
A new study has discovered how our body clocks cause wounds, such as cuts and burns, to heal approximately 60% faster if the injury happens during the day rather than at night. This could have implications for medical procedures such as surgery and provides targets for developing drugs that improve wound healing

Obese and Anorexic Women Have Low Levels of ‘Feel Good’ Neurosteroid
Researchers have found that women at opposite extremes of the weight spectrum have low levels of the neuroactive steroid allopregnanolone, a metabolite of the hormone progesterone. Gas chromatography and mass spectrometry were used to pick up extremely small levels of these chemicals in blood serum, saliva and brain tissue.
