title: Time and body chemistry: questions and answers.
abstract: This is an article based on questions and answers which are aimed at explaining of chronobiological principles from rhythms of chemical compounds of living matter. The chemical aspect of biological rhythms is important considering that any biological event is guided by chemical phenomena. The dialogue helps us to understand how biochemical rhythmicities are fundamental for clinical health, their deviations being demonstrable in pathophysiological conditions.
