[Seasonal and circadian fluctuations in blood biochemical indicators in mice in natural conditions and exposed to constant light].

The fluctuations of activity of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and those of the levels of protein, glucose, cholesterol, bilirubin, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, K+, Cl-, Na+ in blood plasma of mice in natural conditions (NC) and exposed to constant light (CL) were studied in different seasons of the year (in January, April, July, October) on days 18, 24, 6 (at 12 o'clock). Most indices both in NC and CL animals had seasonal rhythm similar for each of them. This proves a primary effect of environmental geoclimatic factors of formation of circadian periodicals as compared to desynchronization in constant light revealed by Kosinor analysis in winter (acrophase from 14.

[Chronosensitivity to absolute hypercapnia in various light regimens].

The studies of mice on the natural regimen of day and night alterations have revealed a daily rhythm of hypercapnia toxicity, with the maximum sensitivity observed at 6 a.m. and the minimum sensitivity at 6 p.
