Analysis of these mouse strains may increase understanding of the molecular mechanisms controlling diurnal rhythms of IOP and that may be relevant to glaucoma.
Diurnal variation in IOP is common in humans and laboratory animals [ 53 ] . The molecular mechanisms underlying the diurnal rhythm are not defined but increased aqueous humor production or flow occurs during the period of increased IOP in both rabbits and humans [ 63 64 65 ] . Small changes in the resistance to aqueous humor drainage may also contribute to diurnal differences in IOP [ 66 67 ] . We first suspected IOP changes with time of day when the IOP of a group of B6 mice measured in the hour prior to onset of the dark period appeared to be higher than at other times of day.
Exposing rats to 24 hours of low light abrogates the diurnal fluctuation of IOP and results in constantly elevated IOP [ 36 ] . Further experiments will determine the nature of the diurnal rhythm of IOP in the albino B6 mice and if its alteration or other mechanisms result in IOP elevation.
In nocturnal rodents, lesioning the SCN results in more fragmented sleep, with lower EEG delta power, but leaving the daily sleep time unchanged [ 6 7 8 31 ] . Lesioning the SCN in a diurnal primate, the squirrel monkey, did result in an increase in NREMS time, but sleep was more fragmented, with a higher proportion of 'light' NREMS [ 5 ] ; i.e., with lower overall levels of EEG delta power.
All three of the humidity variables averaged over the growing season (VPD, relative humidity, and the average maximum diurnal relative humidity) were highly positively related to both measures of fungal prevalence (Table 1).
