Wild‐Derived House Mice (Mus musculus) Are Able to Cope With a Constant Light Environment
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 2, Page 162-171, March 2026.ABSTRACT Exposure to altered nighttime lighting conditions has become common in today's modern world. Light at night disrupts circadian processes that govern feeding patterns, sleep/wake cycles, and metabolic homoeostasis, increasing the risk of developing pathologies associated with cardiometabolic disease. Yet, the underlying mechanism(s) responsible
