The study consists of multiple methods to assess the circadian rhythm. Experimental data from the study cohort (gene expression, hormones, cell composition), as well as experimental data from cells (SW480 cell model), and publicly available datasets (mammalian reference circadian profiles) were used. n = number of participants or animals, ns = number of samples collected.
