Abstract:Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in the brain of Catoles and Mus exhibited cyclical variations during the 24 h period of the solar day. Crest values for AChE activity at 08.00 h in Caloles was 180° out of phase with those of Mus. Rhythm characteristics viz., M, A, φ (computed acrophase) and D (periodicity index) differed for the animals. Also, in both cases Ho (Null Hypothesis) was rejected (A o). Hence a significant and phase-synchronized rhythm with angular frequency ω (held constant at one cycle per 24 … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
