Robust Food Anticipatory Activity in BMAL1-Deficient Mice
Food availability is a potent environmental cue that directs circadian locomotor activity in rodents. Even though nocturnal rodents prefer to forage at night, daytime food anticipatory activity (FAA) is observed prior to short meals presented at a scheduled time of day. Under this restricted feeding regimen, rodents exhibit two distinct bouts of activity, a nocturnal activity rhythm that is ent...
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 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...
متن کاملDevelopment of dilated cardiomyopathy in Bmal1-deficient mice.
Circadian rhythms are approximate 24-h oscillations in physiology and behavior. Circadian rhythm disruption has been associated with increased incidence of hypertension, coronary artery disease, dyslipidemia, and other cardiovascular pathologies in both humans and animal models. Mice lacking the core circadian clock gene, brain and muscle aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT)-li...
متن کاملProgression of the prothrombotic state in aging Bmal1-deficient mice.
OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to examine the functional relationship between aging endothelium and thrombogenicity in a mouse model of premature aging. METHODS AND RESULTS Coagulation tests and factors, blood cell counts, aorta endothelial function, aorta gene expression, and FeCl(3)-induced thrombosis in mesenteric blood vessels were analyzed in 10- to 30-week-old brain and muscle ARN...
