Lithium effects on selected circadian rhythms in rats. 1985

D L McEachron, and D F Kripke, and F R Sharp, and A J Lewy, and D E McClellan

Treating rats with lithium results in clear phase-delays in certain circadian rhythms but has no effect upon other rhythms. Phase-delays can be seen in running-wheel activity rhythms but under certain conditions, phase changes are not noted in SCN 2-DG uptake or pineal melatonin rhythms.
