Night Shifts Disrupt Protein Rhythms, Increasing Obesity Risk

Working in night shifts may increase cancer risk, reveals study

Working in night shifts may increase cancer risk, reveals study ANI | Updated: Mar 13, 2021 19:00 IST Washington [US], March 13 (ANI): A novel study led by a team of researchers from the Washington State University has shed light on the clues as to why night shift workers may be at increased risk of developing certain types of cancer compared to those who work regular daytime hours. Findings suggest that night shifts disrupt natural 24-hour rhythms in the activity of certain cancer-related genes, making night shift workers more vulnerable to DNA damage while also causing the body s DNA repair mechanisms to be mistimed to deal with that damage.

Published online in the Journal of Pineal Research, the study involved a controlled laboratory experiment that used healthy volunteers who were on simulated night shift or day shift schedules. Findings from the study suggest that night shifts disrupt natural 24-hour rhythms in the activity of certain cancer-related genes, making night shift workers more vulnerable to damage to their DNA while at the same time causing the body s DNA repair mechanisms to be mistimed to deal with that damage.
