Abstract:
:Two experiments examined the effects of various photoperiods on body weight and reproductive function in Syrian hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus). In Experiment 1 female hamsters were exposed to symmetrical skeleton photoperiods in which dawn and dusk were mimicked by 1-hr light pulses. A skeleton long (LD 16:8) photoperiod had no effect on body weight or estrous cyclicity (compared with animals in a complete LD 16:8 photoperiod), but exposure to a skeleton short (LD 10:14) photoperiod increased body weight and interrupted estrous cycles. Thus, body weight appears to respond to the relative timing of the two light pulses (a circadian mechanism) rather than to the absolute amount of light or darkness (an hourglass mechanism), just as does reproduction. In Experiment 2 female hamsters were exposed to a long photoperiod (LD 16:8) or to one of two short photoperiods (LD 10:14 and LD 8:16). Both short photoperiods increased body weight and interrupted estrous cycles, but the LD 8:16 photoperiod was substantially more effective at increasing body weight than was the LD 10:14. Thus, hamster body weight appears to be capable of a graded response to photoperiod, with shorter days producing a greater obesity. With prolonged exposure to the two short photoperiods (greater than 30 weeks), body weights spontaneously returned to the same level as the long-day controls, and estrous cycles resumed. When these hamsters were treated with the pineal gland hormone, melatonin, only those housed in long days exhibited the characteristic body weight gains, growth of brown and white adipose tissues, and decreases in uterine weight. Therefore, with prolonged exposure to short days, energy balance develops a photorefractoriness and an insensitivity to melatonin treatment, just as with reproductive function.
