| Research Abstract |
We have investigated the role of heme as a key molecule to control the phase of circadian rhythms in mice, using griseofulvin-induced porphyria model. Our research product has recently been published in Am J Physiol. Moreover, we advanced the research project based on the difference of drug sensitivity of the mice, we have established the model mice of alcohol dependence, and found that some substances could work as therapeutic and preventive drug for the disease.
