Effects of exposure to constant light during late gestation on plasma DHAS and cortisol concentrations (mean ± SEM) at ten months of age at two clock time.

	DHAS		Cortisol
Clock time (h)	Control	LL	Control	LL
0800	0.03 ± 0.01	0.03 ± 0.01	1.19 ± 0.25	1.64 ± 0.34
2000	0.20 ± 0.03	0.02 ± 0.04	0.55 ± 0.04	0.44 ± 0.01

Control, newborns, and infants from mothers maintained in 14:10 light:dark cycle (n=4).
LL, newborns, and infants from mothers maintained with lights continuously on from about 100 days of gestation to delivery (n=4).
Different to 0800 h (P<0.05 Student’s t-test).
Different to control animal at 2000 h (P<0.05 Student’s t-test).
