Abstract

CBA/CaJ mice exhibited greater circadian period lengthening and increased weight gain when exposed to compared to CBA/J mice.

  • CBA/CaJ mice showed reduced glucose levels and increased novelty-induced locomotor activity in constant light.
  • Both CBA/J and CBA/CaJ mice experienced reductions in thyroid hormone and insulin levels under constant light.
  • The physiological and behavioral alterations were more pronounced in CBA/CaJ mice, suggesting a link between circadian photoreceptivity and these changes.
