    • A Circadian Clock Entrained by Melatonin Is Ticking in the Rat Fetal Adrenal 
      Torres Farfán, Claudia; Méndez, N.; Abarzúa Catalán, Lorena; Vilches, N.; Valenzuela, G. J.; Serón Ferré, María (ENDOCRINE SOC, 2011-05)
      The adrenal gland in the adult is a peripheral circadian clock involved in the coordination of energy intake and expenditure, required for adaptation to the external environment. During fetal life, a peripheral circadian ...
    • Clock gene expression in adult primate suprachiasmatic nuclei and adrenal: Is the adrenal a peripheral clock ... 
      Valenzuela, F. J.; Torres Farfán, Claudia; Richter, Hans G.; Méndez, N.; Campino, C.; Torrealba, F.; Valenzuela, G. J.; Serón Ferré, María (ENDOCRINE SOC, 2008-04)
      The circadian production of glucocorticoids involves the concerted action of several factors that eventually allow an adequate adaptation to the environment. Circadian rhythms are controlled by the circadian timing ...
    • Deciphering the function of the blunt circadian rhythm of melatonin in the newborn lamb: impact on adrenal ... 
      Serón Ferré, María; Torres Farfán, Claudia; Valenzuela, Francisco J.; Castillo Galán, Sebastián; Rojas, Auristela; Mendez, Natalia; Reynolds, Henry; Valenzuela, Guillermo; Llanos Mansilla, Jorge (Oxford University Press, 2017)
      Neonatal lambs, as with human and other neonates, have low arrhythmic endogenous levels of melatonin for several weeks until they start their own pineal rhythm of melatonin production at approximately 2 weeks of life. ...
    • Evidence of a role for melatonin in fetal sheep physiology: direct actions of melatonin on fetal cerebral ... 
      Torres Farfán, Claudia; Valenzuela, Francisco J.; Mondaca, Mauricio; Valenzuela, Guillermo J.; Krause, Bernardo; Herrera Videla, Emilio; Riquelme González, Raquel; Llanos Mansilla, Jorge; Serón Ferré, María (BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, 2008-08-15)
      Although the fetal pineal gland does not secrete melatonin, the fetus is exposed to melatonin of maternal origin. In the non-human primate fetus, melatonin acts as a trophic hormone for the adrenal gland, stimulating ...
    • Gestational chronodisruption leads to persistent changes in the rat fetal and adult adrenal clock and function 
      Salazar, E. R.; Richter, H. G.; Spichiger, C.; Mendez, N.; Halabi, D.; Vergara, K.; Alonso, I. P.; Corvalán, F. A.; Azpeleta, C.; Serón Ferré, María; Torres Farfán, Claudia (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2018)
      © 2018 The Authors. The Journal of Physiology © 2018 The Physiological Society Key points: Light at night is essential to a 24/7 society, but it has negative consequences on health. Basically, light at night induces an ...
    • Impact of maternal melatonin suppression on amount and functionality of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in the ... 
      Serón Ferré, María; Reynolds, H.; Mendez, N.; Mondaca, M.; Valenzuela, F. J.; Ebensperger, R.; Valenzuela, G. J.; Herrera, E. A.; Llanos Mansilla, Jorge; Torres Farfán, Claudia (Frontiers Media S.A., 2014)
      © 2014 Seron-ferre, Reynolds, Mendez, Mondaca, Ebensperger, Valenzuela, Valenzuela, Herrera, Llanos and Torres-farfan. In human and sheep newborns, brown adipose tissue (BAT) accrued during fetal development is used for ...
    • In utero circadian changes; facing light pollution 
      Torres Farfán, Claudia; Méndez, Natalia; Ehrenfeld, Pamela; Seron Ferré, María José (Elsevier, 2020)
      Regardless of the molecular and physiological mechanisms involved, maternal fetal circadian systems interactions are recognized as crucial crosstalk for fetal development, and in turn, it may be a key factor determining ...
    • Respuesta cardiopulmonar a cambios de oxigenación en recién nacidos de ovejas de diferentes altitudes 
      Herrera Videla, Emilio; Ebensperger Darrouy, Germán; Riquelme González, Raquel; Díaz Navarrete, Marcela; Reyes Catalán, Víctor; Torres Farfán, Claudia; Llanos Mansilla, Jorge (Universidad de Chile, 2011)
      La exposición a la hipoxia crónica en el altiplano andino durante el período perinatal induce hipertensión pulmonar y cambios estructurales y funcionales en la circulación pulmonar y sistémica. El objetivo de este estudio ...
    • Rhythmic expression of functional MT1 melatonin receptors in the rat adrenal gland 
      Richter, Hans G.; Torres Farfán, Claudia; García Sesnich, Jocelyn; Abarzúa Catalán, Lorena; Henríquez Luna, Mauricio; Alvarez Felmer, Mauro; Gaete, Fernando; Rehren, Germán E.; Serón Ferré, María (ENDOCRINE SOC, 2008-03)
      We previously demonstrated that melatonin is involved in the regulation of adrenal glucocorticoid production in diurnal primates through activation of MT1 membrane-bound melatonin receptors. However, whether melatonin ...
