Suprachiasmatic nuclear lesions do not abolish food-shifted circadian adrenal and temperature rhythmicity

Suprachiasmatic nuclear lesions do not abolish food-shifted circadian adrenal and temperature rhythmicity

D T Krieger et al. Science. .

Abstract

Daytime restriction of food and water availability in nocturnal animals phase shifts the circadian periodicity of plasma corticosteroid concentrations and body temperature. These shifted rhythms persist in animals with lesions of the suprachiasmatic nuclei who are arrhythmic under normal conditions. These findings suggest the existence of an additional "clock" that may be involved in the generation of the rhythm.
