Can Disruption of Circadian Rhythm Influence Toxicological Outcomes?
Disruptions in circadian rhythm, such as those caused by shift work or jet lag, can lead to altered responses to toxicants. These disruptions can impair the body's ability to metabolize drugs or environmental chemicals effectively, potentially increasing the risk of adverse effects. Studies have shown that individuals with irregular sleep patterns may have a higher susceptibility to chemical exposure and related health issues.
