BDF1 male mice were studied over a 24-h span in winter, spring, summer and fall. For 3 wk prior to study, .apprx. 1/3 of the animals were kept under a lighting regimen of 8 h light alternating with 16 h of darkness (LD 8:16), .apprx. 1/3 on a lighting regimen of LD 12:12 and a remainder on a lighting regimen of LD 16:8. During each study, subgroups of animals on all 3 lighting regimens were killed at 4-h intervals over a 24-h span. Twenty minutes prior to being killed, the animals received 5 .mu.Ci of [3H]-thymidine/0.2 ml per 20 gm of body wt. The thymidine uptake in the DNA of the colon and of the small intestine were studied as an index of cell proliferation. A circadian rhythm was similar in acrophase and amplitude in the animals kept on LD 8:16 and LD 12:12. In the mice on LD 16:8, there was also a statistically significant circadian rhythm of [3H]-thymidine uptake in the DNA of the colon during all 4 seasons. The acrophases of this rhythm, however, varied widely suggesting free running. A ciradian thythm of [3H]-thymidine uptake in small intestine was less consistent. In animals on all 3 lighting regimens, however, a circannual variation of [3H]-thymidine uptake in DNA in colon and small intestine was found with the highest uptake during summer. This study indicates that a lighting regimen of LD 16:8 does not reliably synchronize the circadian rhythm of this function in the colon and in the small intestine which persists under 3 lighting regimens (LD 8:16, 12:12 and 16:8) maintained for 3-4 wk prior to being killed.
