Abstract

Fluctuations in the intestinal transport of L- and D-histidine were measured in rats on three feeding schedules under conventional lighting conditions, with a dark night. In rats fed ad libitum, the transport of L-histidine through the everted intestine showed a daily rhythmic change, being high at 4 p.m. and low in the early morning. In rats adapted to daytime feeding, the transport of L-histidine was highest at 6 a.m. and low at night. In starved rats, the rhythmicity was maintained for at least one day of fasting. Transport of D-histidine showed no daily fluctuation.
