Genetic analysis of circadian and ultradian locomotor activity rhythms in laboratory rats.
Obvious differences exist in the daily activity patterns of the LEW/Ztm and ACI/Ztm inbred strains of Laboratory rats. The inbred strain ACII Ztm shows a clear 24-h rhythm of locomotor activity. The activity pattern of the LEW/Ztm strain, however, is characterized by ultradian rhythms of 4and 4.8-h periods. Genetic analysis of crosses between the two strains was used to examine the relative amo...

Glossary Circadian biological rhythms of approximately 24 h in duration. Clock something that is used to measure time. Chronotherapeutics treatment protocol for cancer whereby the time of day that chemotherapy is administered is chosen in order to be maximally effective in treating the tumor, but have minimal effects on the patient. Entrainment the process by which an environmental stimulus reg...
متن کاملCircadian rhythms of locomotor activity in Drosophila.
Drosophila is by far the most advanced model to understand the complex biochemical interactions upon which circadian clocks rely. Most of the genes that have been characterized so far were isolated through genetic screens using the locomotor activity rhythms of the adults as a circadian output. In addition, new techniques are available to deregulate gene expression in specific cells, allowing t...
متن کاملSimultaneous determination of circadian rhythms of locomotor activity and body temperature in the rat.
Stimultaneous determination of the circadian rhythms of locomotor activity and body temperature was carried out in the rat. Deep body temperature was monitored continuously using a telemetric device. The circadian rhythm of locomotor activity was characterized by clustering of several bursts of activity during the dark period. The circadian rhythm of body temperature was also characterized by b...
متن کاملCircadian rhythms in locomotor activity of juvenile horseshoe crabs.
The American horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus, is a classic model for vision research. Not only are the lateral eyes of Limulus relatively simple, but they share many processes with the eyes of more advanced animals, including humans (1). The eyes of Limulus also exhibit a remarkable circadian rhythm: they become nearly 1,000,000-fold more sensitive at night, accommodating for the roughly 1,0...
