摘要：
The present study assessed whether treatment with the L-type calcium channel antagonist nimodipine affects the responsiveness of the circadian pacemaker to light in C3H/HeN mice. Nimodipine (10 mg/kg, sc) increased the magnitude of light-induced phase delays (P<0.01) and c-fos mRNA expression in the paraventricular nuclei (P<0.01), but not in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN). These results suggest that nimodipine may affect phase shifts of circadian activity rhythms through a mechanism independent of c-fos expression in the SCN. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
