Melatonin-induced phase and dose responses in a diurnal mammal, Funambulus pennantii.

Abstract:

:Melatonin, an essential pineal hormone, acts as a marker of the circadian clock that regulates biological rhythms in animals. The effects of exogenous melatonin on the circadian system of nocturnal rodents have been extensively studied; however, there is a paucity of studies on the phase-resetting characteristics of melatonin in diurnal rodents. We studied the phase shifting effects of exogenous melatonin as a single melatonin injection (1 mg/kg) at various phases of the circadian cycle on the circadian locomotor activity rhythm in the palm squirrel, Funambulus pennantii. A phase response curve (PRC) was constructed. Adult male squirrels (N = 10) were entrained to a 12:12 h light-dark cycle (LD) in a climate-controlled chronocubicle with food and water provided ad libitum. After stable entrainment, squirrels were transferred to constant dark condition (DD) for free-running. Following stable free run, animals were administered a single dose of melatonin (1 mg/kg in 2% ethanol-phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution) or vehicle (2% ethanol-PBS solution) at circadian times (CTs) 3 h apart to evoke phase shifts. The phase shifts elicited at various CTs were plotted to generate the PRC. A dose response curve was generated using four doses (0.5, 1, 2 and 4 mg/kg) administered at the CT of maximum phase advance. Melatonin evoked maximum phase advances at CT0 (1.23 ± 0.28 h) and maximum phase delays at CT15 (0.31 ± 0.09 h). In the dose response experiment, maximal phase shifts were evoked with 1 mg/kg. In contrast, no significant shifts were observed in control groups. Our study demonstrates that the precise timing and appropriate dose of melatonin administration is essential to maximize the amelioration of circadian rhythm-related disorders in a diurnal model.
