Effect of acute continuous nocturnal light exposure (ACNLE) on c-Fos expression in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) under sevoflurane anesthesia. A. c-Fos immunostaining and DAPI nuclear staining in the SCN. 3V, the third ventricle. Bar = 200 μm. B. quantitative analysis of the numbers c-Fos-positive cells in groups ND and NL. Compared to group ND, acute light exposure in group NL caused a higher c-Fos expression in the SCN (***P < 0.001 compared with ND, n = 4 in group ND, n = 6 in NL group, unpaired t-test). ND, nighttime administration of sevoflurane (20:00-24:00) in the dark; NL, nighttime administration of sevoflurane (20:00-24:00) with exposure to light.
