Effect of genotype (WT vs. Per2−/−) on the diurnal CORT rhythm. Peak CORT levels were observed in WT mice (solid black line) at the transition from lights-on to lights-out (Lights out at 1300 h or ZT12). There was no diurnal CORT rise in Per2−/− mice (dotted gray line). *p < 0.05 WT vs. respective Per2−/− time point (n = 6–15 animals per group)
