Circadian Oscillations in Rodents: A Systematic Increase of Their Frequency with Age
Year: 1974
Type: article
Abstract: The circadian activity rhythms of golden hamsters and two species of deermouse, when released from a light-dark cycle of 12 hours light and 12 hours of darkness into constant darkness, had progressively shorter periods as the animals became older. A possible bearing of this fact on the aging process is briefly outlined.
