Hourly number of SWDs (mean and sem) in female WAG/Rij rats across the ovarian cycle. Note the circadian pattern across all four days and the increase in SWDs at the last hours of the light and first hours of the dark period of the proestrus day. It is at specifically these hours that progesterone levels are increased (adapted, [121]).
