Abstract:
Adjuvant arthritis in rats produces alterations in the motor activity circadian rhythm. Specifically arthritic animals show a decrease in the total daily motor activity and an advance in the acrophase of the rhythm. Slight changes are also observed in the power content of the circadian harmonic as well as in the amplitude.
