The tau mutation in the Syrian hamster alters the photoperiodic responsiveness of the gonadal axis to melatonin signal frequency.

Endocrinology - 1 May 1996

Stirland J A, Hastings M H, Loudon A S, Maywood E S

Abstract excerpt

This study investigated the role of the circadian timing system (CTS) in photoperiodic time measurement by examining the response of the tau mutant hamster to programmed infusions of melatonin. The mutation is a single Mendelian gene defect which accelerates circadian period from 24 h in the wild-type (WT) to 20 h in the homozygote. If the CTS does not contribute to the photoperiodic interpretation of the...
