Abstract
Circadian rhythms of squirrel monkeys maintained in constant light and temperature can be entrained by 24 hr cycles of food availability with eating for 3 hr and fasting for 21 hr (EF 3:21). Rhythms of drinking, body temperature and urinary potassium and water excretion exhibited periods which matched the 24 hr period of the EF 3:21 cycle. These results suggest that temporal patterns of food intake are capable of synchronizing the circadian timekeeping system which underlies the observed rhythms.
