Core temperature and spontaneous cage activity were continuously monitored by implanted microtelemetry devices prior to and for 5 days following complete LD cycle reversal. By the 5th day after LD reversal, temperature rhythm nadir had phase-advanced 10.5 hours in the lean Zucker rats, 10.8 hours in the Sprague-Dawley rats, and only 3.8 hours in the fatty Zucker rats. Similarly, total activity increased in lean Zucker rats and Sprague-Dawley rats after LD reversal but declined in the fatty Zucker rat during the same time. Results of this study show that obese Zucker rats displayed an impaired ability to reentrain circadian rhythms for temperature and activity when compared to lean Zucker rats and Sprague-Dawley rats. These findings suggest that dysfunction in the circadian pacemaker previously shown to manifest itself by 43 weeks of age in fatty Zucker rats may already be present at 3 months of age and suggest that altered thermoregulation may play a role in the development of obesity in this animal model of genetic obesity.
