Disruption of key clock gene expression (desynchronosis) leads to the misalignment of metabolic pathways. However, the relationship between circadian dysregulation and hepatic protein-synthetic function, as well as its sexual dimorphism, remains poorly understood. To evaluate the effect of chronic photoperiod disruption on hepatic protein-synthetic function (total protein, albumin) and to establish its relationship with the expression of key circadian proteins (BMAL1, CLOCK, PER2) in male and female rats, as well as to assess the efficacy of exogenous melatonin in correcting the identified disturbances.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study was performed on 240 adult Wistar rats (120 males, 120 females).
