  • Recent reports have documented variability in photoresponsiveness in peripubertal males among laboratory rat strains [ 5 6 ] . The fact that photoresponsiveness extends to adulthood in F344 rats suggests that genetic variation in the presence and strength of adult photoresponsiveness is present among rat strains.

  • Previous work demonstrated that young F344 rats have a period of photoresponsiveness that delays reproductive maturation, reduces food intake, and slows somatic growth [ 5 15 ] , and that these responses are pineal and melatonin dependent [ 5 16 ] . This study demonstrates that F344 rats are also photoresponsive as adults (Figs.

  • Rats put into SD photoperiod treatment from the time of weaning exhibited an initial period of photoresponsiveness during the first third of the experiment (measurements in weeks 2-14).

  • Rats put into an intermediate photoperiod treatment from the time of weaning exhibited an initial period of photoresponsiveness during the first third of the experiment (measurements in weeks 2-14).

  • These intervals were chosen because the initial effects of SD on young rats persist for approximately 14-16 weeks [ 5 19 ] , and because species that have a type-II annual rhythm generally are photorefractory for a period of at least 15-20 weeks, corresponding to the middle third of our experiment, and then have a second period of photoresponsiveness beginning at some time in the final third of a first year in photoperiod treatment [e.g.
