Food Anticipatory Activity Behavior of Mice across a Wide Range of Circadian and Non-Circadian Intervals
When rodents are fed in a limited amount during the daytime, they rapidly redistribute some of their nocturnal activity to the time preceding the delivery of food. In rats, anticipation of a daily meal has been interpreted as a circadian rhythm controlled by a food-entrained oscillator (FEO) with circadian limits to entrainment. Lesion experiments place this FEO outside of the light-entrainable...
متن کاملCircadian Regulation of Food-Anticipatory Activity in Molecular Clock–Deficient Mice
In the mammalian brain, the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the anterior hypothalamus is considered to be the principal circadian pacemaker, keeping the rhythm of most physiological and behavioral processes on the basis of light/dark cycles. Because restriction of food availability to a certain time of day elicits anticipatory behavior even after ablation of the SCN, such behavior has been ass...
متن کاملAttenuated Food Anticipatory Activity and Abnormal Circadian Locomotor Rhythms in Rgs16 Knockdown Mice
Regulators of G protein signaling (RGS) are a multi-functional protein family, which functions in part as GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) of G protein α-subunits to terminate G protein signaling. Previous studies have demonstrated that the Rgs16 transcripts exhibit robust circadian rhythms both in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), the master circadian light-entrainable oscillator (LEO) of th...
متن کاملCIRCADIAN VARIATION OF THE ACUTE TOXICITY AND NOCICEPTIVE ACTIVITY OF AMINOPHYLLINE IN MICE
The circadian variation of the toxicity and nociceptive actIvity of aminophylline as an important methylxanthine was studied in mice. The animals were housed under controlled light-dark cycles for at least 2 weeks. Acute toxicity was determined by LD50. Hot-plate test was used for determination of thermal pain threshold. Doses of 200, 250, 280 and 340 mg/kg of aminophylline were injected i...
متن کاملAltered Circadian Food Anticipatory Activity Rhythms in PACAP Receptor 1 (PAC1) Deficient Mice
Light signals from intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) entrain the circadian clock and regulate negative masking. Two neurotransmitters, glutamate and Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase Activating Polypeptide (PACAP), found in the ipRGCs transmit light signals to the brain via glutamate receptors and the specific PACAP type 1 (PAC1) receptor. Light entrainment occurs during th...
