behavior/neurological
• in a forced-swim test, female mice exhibit less immobility compared with wild-type mice
• in constant darkness, female mice exhibit reduced immobility in a forced-swim test compared with similarly treated wild-type mice
• however, anxiety and depressive-like behavior are not increased
|
• during constant darkness in an open field, mice spend more time exploring the center than wild-type mice
• in an elevated plus maze, female mice exhibit increased number of arm entries compared with wild-type mice
|
• when fed a high fat diet during the light and dark phase
|
• food intake is increased during the light period and decreased during the dark phase compared with wild-type mice
|
• during the light phase
(J:98343)
|
|
• in female mice
(J:101849)
|
• in female mice in an open field test
|
• under dark dark conditions, mice spend more time awake than similarly treated wild-type mice
• delta energy accumulates over 28 hours unlike 24 in wild-type mice
|
• activity levels are increased during the light period and decreased during the dark phase compared with wild-type mice
|
• mutants exhibit extremely long circadian periods of 26 to 29 hours on initial transfer to constant darkness
|
• the long circadian period is followed by a complete loss of circadian rhythmicity after about 2 weeks in constant darkness, although a residual ultradian periodicity of 6-9 hours remains
|
• in constant darkness, mice exhibit a 3 to 4 hour increase in free-running rhythm of locomotor activity compared with wild-type mice
• after a few weeks in constant darkness, mice exhibit a break-down in circadian rhymicity unlike similarly treated wild-type mice
• mice exhibit a change in the temporal pattern of total activity during the dark phase with attenuation of the two peaks of activity normally observed in wild-type mice
• as early as 3 weeks of age, diurnal rhythm of food intake is severely altered with only a 53% increase in food intake during the dark phase compared with 75% in wild-type mice
|
• mice spend 18% less time asleep during the entire 24 hour light dark cycle compared with wild-type mice
• during the 12 hour light phase, sleep episodes are shorter than in wild-type mice
• under dark dark conditions, mice spend more time awake and less time in NREM sleep than wild-type mice
|
• during the 12 hour light and 12 hour dark phases, mice spend less time in non-REM sleep than wild-type mice
• during the 12 hour dark phase, REM sleep is longer than in wild-type mice
• whether sleep deprived or not, total NREM delta energy is decreased compared to in wild-type mice
• delta energy accumulates over 28 hours unlike 24 in wild-type mice
• following sleep deprivation, mice exhibit less sleep and spend less time in REM sleep during the 12 hour dark phase compared with similarly treated wild-type mice
|
• delta energy accumulates over 28 hours unlike 24 in wild-type mice
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• at 6 to 7 months when fed a regular diet
|
• during the light phase when fed a regular and during the light and dark phase when fed a high fat diet
|
• at 6 to 7 months when fed a regular diet
|
• at 6 to 7 months when fed a regular diet
|
• 10% overall
|
• when fed a high fat diet, mice exhibit increased obesity with decreased gains in lean mass and increased gains in fat mass compared with similarly treated wild-type mice
• by 6 weeks, mice fed a high fat diet is increased compared to in similarly treated wild-type mice
|
• metabolic rate is increased during the light period and decreased during the dark phase compared with wild-type mice
|
cardiovascular system
• diurnal variation in mean arterial pressure is disrupted during the light phase
|
• diurnal variation in heart rate is disrupted during the dark phase
|
• only during the active phase
|
adipose tissue
• when fed a high fat diet
|
• when fed a high fat diet, mice exhibit a 75% increase in fat mass compared with 25% in similarly treated wild-type mice
|
growth/size/body
• when fed a regular or high fat diet
|
• when fed a high fat diet, mice exhibit increased obesity with decreased gains in lean mass and increased gains in fat mass compared with similarly treated wild-type mice
• by 6 weeks, mice fed a high fat diet is increased compared to in similarly treated wild-type mice
|
liver/biliary system
• when fed a high fat diet
|
• when mice are fed a high fat diet, hepatocytes exhibit lipid engorgement and glycogen accumulation compared with similarly treated wild-type mice
