Effects of a circadian mutation on seasonality in Syrian hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus).

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Mar 1998

Loudon A S, Ihara N, Menaker M

Abstract excerpt

In Syrian hamsters, exposure to short photoperiods or constant darkness induces a decrease in gonadotrophin secretion and gonadal regression. After 10-12 weeks, animals undergo spontaneous gonadal reactivation, gonadotrophin concentrations rise, and in males, testes size increases and spermatogenesis resumes. The tau mutation shortens the period of circadian wheel-running activity by 4 h in the homozygote. Here,...
