"[To address this issue, we investigated the associations of metabolic parameters and alcohol consumption with mRNA expression of clock genes (CLOCK, BMAL1, PER1, PER2, and PER3) in peripheral blood cells obtained from 29 healthy non-obese elderly men (age 51-78 yrs) who adhered to a regular sleep-wake routine, through a single time-of-day venous blood sampling at approximately 09:00 h. There were significant correlations between (1) waist circumference and mRNA level of PER1 (r =-0.43), (2) plasma glucose concentration and PER2 (r =-0.50), (3) ethanol consumption and BMAL1 (r =-0.43), and (4) serum gamma-GTP concentration (a sensitive marker of alcohol consumption) and PER2 (r =-0.40).].
