Abstract | Throughout their lives, all organisms are affected by environmental factors. The duration of the photoperiod and the type of diet to which the organism is exposed are among the most important parameters of the interaction between genes and the environment. In this study, Syrian hamsters were left in two separate light conditions, 16L (04.00-20.00) and 8L (12.00-20.00). Adult hamsters were randomized into two major groups and fed with ad-libitum and methyl-rich diets. Daily feed intake and weekly body weights were monitored. At the end of 8 weeks, the hypothalamus tissues of Syrian hamsters were isolated by decapitating them at four different times of the day. lights on, mid-day, lights off, and midnight. As shown in the results of DNA materials by the Trisole method, global methylation amounts were measured by ELISA. Hamsters fed a diet high in methyl consumed more nutrients than those supplied ad-libitum. (p<0,05). There was no effect of diet type on body weight, The amount of methylation increased in both long and short photoperiods during the hours when the lights were off (p<0,05). Although each content of methyl-rich foods affects different enzymes or hormones, it has an important role in metabolic activities. Photoperiodically varying methylation balances were also shown to vary widely in multiple ways depending on the methyl level in the environment. |
