Scientists found a new way to get rid of jet lag 00:16

American scientists from Duke and California universities have discovered a method that regulates the daily rhythms of the human body. In the future, this could pave the way for treatments for disorders associated with disruption of the biological clock. The research was published in the scientific journal magazine Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

The team discovered properties of a protein called CK1δ that are associated with sleep and wakefulness patterns.

CK1δ controls circadian rhythms by labeling other proteins involved in this process. In addition to altering other proteins, CK1δ itself can be labeled, thus altering its ability to regulate other elements of the biorhythm system.

The researchers found that the way proteins are labeled is determined by different sequences.

According to scientists, CK1δ also plays a role in a variety of processes outside of circadian rhythms, including cell division, cancer development and some neurodegenerative diseases.

Experts believe that exposure to protein can relieve a person from jet lag, also known as jet lag. It occurs when a person’s circadian rhythm is out of sync with the natural circadian cycle and usually occurs during long-distance air travel. Jet lag manifests itself as a feeling of fatigue, increased irritability and disruption of sleep patterns.

Previous scientists offered A method to combat jet lag by using special lighting in aircraft cabins on long-haul flights.
