Interactive effects of food deprivation and exercise on reproductive function in female hamsters

Two experiments evaluated the combined effects of food deprivation and runningwheel access on estrous cycles and estrous behavior of female hamsters. In experiment 1, food deprivation on days 1 and 2 of the estrous cycle disrupted the next expected ovulation, and this effect was more, rather than less, robust in females allowed to exercise in running wheels while they were deprived. In experiment 2, a similar protocol was used except the females were ovariectomized and received sequential injections of estradiol benzoate (EB; 5 micrograms) and progesterone (P; 200 micrograms) separated by 48 h to induce lordosis, which was tested 4-5 after P. Food deprivation concomitant with hormonal treatment diminished lordosis durations, but this effect was significant only among the females that were permitted to run in activity wheels. Previous findings demonstrated that access to running wheels attenuated the inhibitory effects of short photoperiod exposure on hamster estrous cycles. In contrast, the present results indicate that this same manipulation exaggerates rather than diminishes the inhibitory effects of food deprivation on estrous cycles and hormone-induced behavioral estrus.
