Growth and 24 hour eating patterns of rats kept under various light:dark conditions.
Up to 84 days there was no difference in growth between groups of rats kept from birth at 8:16, 12:12 or 18:6 hours light:dark. More eating activity takes place during the light period when this is a larger part of the 24 hour day.
