Circadian rhythm is a biological process that shows an oscillation of about 24 hours and is controlled by clock genes. Clock genes are said to be related to depression.In this study, we found the expression of clock genes can be measured by human saliva which is not invasive. Also we measured clock genes of mice using a depression animal model and found that external environmental factors such as light have a greater influence on clock genes than corticosterone which is a stress hormone and theanine which is supposed to antidepressant.
