Abstract excerpt
The tau mutation of the Syrian hamster is one of only two mutations currently known to affect the circadian system in mammals. In order to investigate the molecular mechanisms associated with this mutation, we have compared the level of expression of the mRNA for vasoactive intestinal peptide (VI...
