Circadian period (tau), wheel-running activity, bout analysis, and phase shift response under free-running (dark/dark) conditions in interleukin (IL)-6 knockout (IL-6 KO) and wild-type (WT) mice. Analysis of the free-running circadian behavioral locomotor activity in IL-6 KO and WT mice (n = 9–11 per group) demonstrating comparable (A) tau and wheel-running activity during the (B) alpha and (C) rho phase and in (D) total amounts. (E) Significantly increased quantity of activity bouts in IL-6 KO compared with WT mice with unaltered (F) bout length and (G) activity counts/bout. (H) Unaltered phase shift response to a brief light pulse at CT14 is in IL-6 KO mice. All data are displayed as mean ± SEM; *p < 0.05.
