Endogenous Circadian Rhythm

Extracellular concentrations of glutamate and aspartate were measured in the vicinity of rat suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) by means of in vivo microdialysis. The concentrations of both excitatory amino acids (EAAs) were higher during the dark phase than during the light under the light-dark cycle, showing pulsatile fluctuations throughout the day. When rats were released into the complete darkness, the 24-h pattern in the aspartate continued for at least one cycle, whereas that in the glutamate disappeared. The nocturnal increases in the EAA levels were not due to the increase of locomotor activity during the nighttime, because the 24-h rhythms were also detected in animals under urethan anesthesia. The patterns of extracellular EAA levels were changed when rats were released into the continuous light. Circadian rhythm was not detected in the glutamate, whereas the 24-h pattern was maintained in the aspartate with the levels increased to various extents. A 30-min light pulse given either at zeitgber time (ZT) 1 or ZT 13 elevated the EAA levels during the latter half of the light pulse, except glutamate by a pulse at ZT 1. The extracellular EAA levels in the vicinity of the rat SCN showed the circadian rhythm with a nocturnal peak and increased in response to the continuous light and a brief light pulse. The aspartate level is considered to be regulated by the endogenous circadian rhythm, but the glutamate levels seems to be modified by the light-dark cycle.

Circadian Rhythm Disorders

The temporal structure and dynamics of biological rhythms were formed in the course of evolution under the influence of environmental factors. Circadian rhythm as a central one in biological objects developed in response to daily luminosity and temperature rhythms related to rotation of the Earth. New causative factors that could be involved in this process and affect the entire spectrum of biological rhythms emerged with the advent of space research. The discovery of solar wind, interplanetary magnetic field, and Earth’s magnetosphere revealed similar periodicity of biological rhythms and magnetic factors which suggests possible participation of the latter in the formation of the former. Disturbances in magnetic rhythms may lead to desynchronization of biological processes by the adaptive stress mechanism as exemplified by circadian rhythm disorders in response to jetlag. This hypothesis forwarded by the authors in the 1990s was confirmed by further investigations including those reported by foreign researchers.

Reentrainment of human circadian rhythm to an 8-h advanced schedule of sleep and social contacts was assessed under two different conditions: with and without bright light (4,000-6,000 lx). Subjects spent 15 days without knowing the natural day-night alternation. On the fourth day, the social schedule was phase-advanced by 8 h. In one experiment, a bright light pulse of 3-h duration was given in every subjective morning, and in the other no light pulse was applied. Plasma melatonin and rectal temperature rhythms were measured. Seven of nine subjects showed an orthodromic phase shift, the rate of which was significantly larger with bright light pulses than without them. The maximum phase-advance shift by three consecutive light pulses was observed when the first pulse was applied approximately 4 h after the onset of melatonin rise. By contrast, the maximum phase shift of a similar extent was detected at 1 h after the onset of melatonin rise, when ordinary room light (300-500 lx) at the time corresponding to bright light was regarded as a dim light pulse. It is concluded that bright light accelerates the reentrainment of human circadian rhythm, and bright light and social schedule have differential effects on the reentrainment.

Endogenous Circadian Rhythm

The rate of internodal extension of chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora Tzvelev. cv. Envy) under various temperature and photoperiod conditions was studied to determine whether reproducible diurnal patterns of growth existed and whether any such patterns conformed to an endogenous circadian rhythm. Stem growth was monitored continuously by means of linear displacement voltage transducers. At constant temperature and under 11 h light/13 h dark photoperiod, stem elongation followed a clearly defined pattern consisting of a peak in rate immediately after the dark to light transition and then a gradual decline until the start of the dark period. During darkness, elongation rate increased and reached a maximum approximately 8 hours after the light to dark transition. This pattern differed when light period temperature was either above or below dark period temperature, but these patterns were also highly reproducible. When plants were subjected to continuous light at constant temperature, the rhythm of stem elongation initially showed a periodicity of approximately 27 hours. After 2 or 3 diurnal cycles the rhythm was less distinct and the rate became essentially constant. Furthermore, the interruption of a long period of continuous light with a 13 h dark period did not restore the rhythm. These findings do not support the existence of an endogenous circadian rhythm of stem elongation. Diurnally-cued rhythms do, however, exist and can be modified by temperature.

Short Day

Our earlier experiments on flowering in the short day plant Pharbitis nil involved far- red/dark (FR/D) interruptions of 90 min duration at various times during a continuous light, constant temperature period before a single inductive dark period. They revealed a rhythm with a period of 12 h, hence semidian. We concluded that the phasing of this semidian rhythm determined the length of darkness required for floral induction. This conclusion has since been challenged so we sought other pretreatments which reveal the semidian rhythm. Interruptions at 12°C–17°C for 45–90 min at various times prior to the inductive dark period were as effective as FR/D in eliciting the semidian rhythm, with significant effects on flowering persisting for at least three cycles in constant conditions in continuous light. The rhythmic response to 12°C pretreatments was 3 h out of phase with that to FR/D pretreatments. Flowering responses to the semidian rhythm exposed by 12°C pretreatments were additive to and independent of those to a circadian rhythm. Some evidence was obtained of reversal of the inhibition or promotion of flowering by FR/D or 12°C by exposure immediately afterwards to the other pretreatment at times of their opposite effect. Pretreatments at 12°C, like those with FR/D, either reduced (if promotive) or extended (if inhibitory) the length of the dark period required for floral induction in this short day plant.
