摘要
To study the ability of single macronutrients to entrain or phase shift the feeding entrainable circadian oscillator, rats with lesions of the suprachiasmatic nucleus were first maintained on a single daily meal of lab chow until robust anticipatory approaches to the feeder or anticipatory wheel running was established. The meal time was then delayed by 8 h and chow was replaced with a 25-mL solution of 0.2% saccharin or 25 ml,of saccharin plus 15 g of glucose. For other phase shifts, rats received either 6 mt of vegetable oil or mineral oil for 2 consecutive days. Consumption of about 6 g (24 kcal) or more of glucose resulted in robust delaying transients on the days after ingestion, whereas saccharin induced only small delays consistent with the initiation of a free-running rhythm with a period greater than 24 h. Surprisingly, consumption of 5.5 g of vegetable oil (47 kcal) did not result in delays greater than those in rats receiving mineral oil. The introduction of oil also produced a severe reduction in approaches to the feeder which could be alleviated by placing inaccessible chow in the feeders between oil meals. Phase shifts with oil were repeated with rats housed in wheels using anticipatory wheel running as a phase marker to assess whether the rack of phase shifts with fat was apparatus dependent. As was the case with approach behavior, anticipatory wheel running was not significantly delayed by vegetable oil consumption. These results indicate that a simple monosaccharide, glucose, has zeitgeber properties for the feeding entrainable oscillator. Vegetable oil, despite a higher caloric content, may be ineffective because of slower gastric emptying and nutrient absorption or because fat is not a good zeitgeber for the feeding entrained circadian oscillator.
