ABSTRACT
Effects of weekly 8 hr advance- or delay-shifts on the circadian rhythm of plasma glucose, liver glycogen and muscle glycogen in male domestic fowls, beginning at about 3 days of age, were examined. Circadian rhythm in the aforesaid indices of carbohydrate metabolism in control birds was also studied. Blood and tissue samples were collected from birds in all the three groups at 4 hr intervals over a single 24 hr time scale both at 6th and 12th week of age. Plasma glucose and glycogen content in the tissues were determined by employing standard techniques. Cosinor rhythmometry was used for analyzing time series data. In general, a statistically significant circadian rhythm was documented for all the three indices in control and advance-schedule birds, irrespective of age. In contrast, in delay-schedule birds, statistically significant circadian rhythm could not be detected, excluding in muscle glycogen at 12th week of age. The poor growth rate in the delay-schedule birds could be imputed to the disappearance of circadian rhythm in the indices of carbohydrate metabolism.
