Plasma melatonin concentrations in hypertensive patients with the dipping and non-dipping blood pressure profile.
TL;DR: A blunted night/day difference in plasma melatonin concentrations in hypertensive patients with the non-dipping profile in diastolic BP indicating disturbances in the circadian system of these patients.

Renin-angiotensin system: upgrade of recent knowledge and perspectives.
TL;DR: The present review provides brief overview on the history of the RAS investigation, circulating and tissue RAS, and outlines the physiological functions of the major active substance, angiotensin II (ANG II), which is shown to be very useful in the hypertension management.

miRNA Clusters with Down-Regulated Expression in Human Colorectal Cancer and Their Regulation.
TL;DR: Comprehensive research revealed that down-regulated miRNAs clusters in CRC are mostly located in a gene intron and, in a majority of cases, miRNA clusters possess cluster-specific transcriptional regulation.

Melatonin content in plasma and large intestine of patients with colorectal carcinoma before and after surgery.
TL;DR: It was hypothesized that increased levels of this hormone in the gastrointestinal tract may play an important protective role against the development of colorectal cancer via stimulation of the immune system, protection against free radicals, and interaction with fatty acid uptake and metabolism.

Changes of physiological functions induced by shift work
TL;DR: Shift work was positively associated with higher incidence of metabolic syndrome, obesity, cardiovascular disease, sleep disturbances, decreased immune functions, and cancer, and disturbed daily profile of melatonin and cortisol during shift work were detected even in human self reporting well tolerated shift work.
