The presence of a circadian rhythm of glucose utilization was demonstrated in vivo in rat cerebral cortex. The activity pattern of the rats, living in a controlled lighting regimen with lights on from 0700-1900 h, appeared to coincide with the rate of glucose consumption in the brain. The rate of utilization was measured at 3 h intervals throughout the day. It fell from a maximum at 0300 h of 0.98 .+-. 0.13 .mu.mol/min g to a minimum of 0.70 .+-. 0.08 .mu.mol/min g at 1500 h. Brain glucose varied with time and its fluctuating level weakly correlated with its rate of utilization. Animals entrained on a 5 h (1630-2130 h) feeding schedule had a similar circadian rhythm, with only a slight increase in amplitude. Reversal of the light cycle caused a disruption in the normal rhythm, but utilization still varied significantly with time of day. Potential error exists for experiments done at different times of the day. The need for awareness of time of day as a factor in measurements of alterations of metabolic rate in the brain is stressed.
