The astrocyte brain-type fatty acid binding protein (Fabp7) gene expression cycles globally throughout mammalian brain, and is known to regulate sleep in multiple species, including humans. The mechanisms that control circadian Fabp7 gene expression are not completely understood and may include core circadian clock components. Here we examined the circadian expression of Fabp7 mRNA in the hypothalamus of core clock gene Bmal1 knock-out (KO) mice. We observed that the circadian rhythm of Fabp7 mR ...[more]
