Abstract：
:Siberian hamsters are photoperiodic seasonally breeding rodents. To date, there has been no evidence that Siberian hamsters exhibit an annual rhythm in reproductive, thermoregulatory, molt, or body mass changes. However, given that the termination of their winter cycle is under endogenous control, the authors thought it possible that under particular conditions, other aspects of their seasonal cycle may be endogenously mediated. Consequently, the authors monitored the reproductive condition, body mass, and molt of hamsters chronically exposed to short days (LD 9:15) for up to 2 years. All animals were taken from previous experiments and had exhibited gonadal regression, followed by refractoriness to shorts days and spontaneous gonadal growth, as well as a complete cycle of body mass and molt changes. Although some hamsters died during the study, the authors continued to monitor some animals for up to 106 weeks of short-day exposure. Of the 57 animals monitored, 4 (7.02%) exhibited a second cycle of reproductive regression and recrudescence. Furthermore, the timing of the second regression was similar in the 4 animals, occurring about 1 year after the initial short-day exposure (50.5 +/- 1.71 weeks). However, the timing of the second bout of recrudescence was more variable, occurring at about week 80 (79.5 +/- 8.01 weeks). Hamsters exhibited regressed gonads for about 7 months (29.0 +/- 8.02 weeks). Although the body mass of the 4 hamsters declined at the time of the second cycle of gonadal regression, it never recovered. No hamster exhibited a second molt cycle. These observations indicate that a small percentage of Siberian hamsters chronically exposed to short days can exhibit an annual cycle of reproduction.
