| Abstract: | Summary Female bandicoot rats showing irregular cycles in 12L 12D, were exposed to light-darkness cycles of 1L23D, 4L20D and 8L16D. Significant regularization of the estrous cycle was observed in 8L16D with most of the rats exhibiting a regular 3-day cycle and the regularity was further enhanced by all-female grouping (4/cage). |
