A brief historical summary is presented regarding the emergence, over the past several decades, of chronobiology as the newest of the integrating discipline of biology. The emphasis is on the circadian system which normally is synchronized to the 24 h environmental light-dark cycle. In the absence of a suitable synchronizer, the system free runs on its own endogenous genetically determined frequency, which usually only approximates 24 h. Since the metabolic system changes rhythmically in time it follows that an organism such as man is biochemically and physiologically a different entity at different circadian stages; therefore it reacts differently to an identical stimulus given at different times. Different stimuli such as anticancer agents are examples considered clearly timed treatment has been shown to significantly improve therapeutic efficacy, data will be presented using the L1210 mouse leukemic model. Moreover data is presented showing that to ignore such rhythmic fluctuation when designing experiments that such can bring about experimental error and false interpretation. The common "same time of day" sampling does not take care of the rhythmic problem!
