光照周期对动物繁殖周期的影响及其生理机制
摘 要
光照周期作为环境因素之一，对动物的繁殖周期具有显著影响。研究表明，光信号通过视网膜-下丘脑通路传递至松果体和垂体，调控促性腺激素的分泌，进而影响生殖器官的功能。本研究旨在探讨不同光照周期对多种动物（包括啮齿类、鸟类和鱼类）繁殖周期的调控机制及其生理响应。通过实验设计，我们模拟了自然光照变化，并结合分子生物学和内分泌学方法，分析了光照周期对动物体内激素水平、生殖器官发育及行为模式的影响。结果显示，短日照条件下，动物的繁殖活动显著抑制，而长日照则促进其繁殖功能的启动。进一步研究发现，光信号通过调节褪黑激素和促性腺激素释放激素（GnRH）的分泌，调控了生殖轴的激活与抑制。此外，我们还发现某些物种在适应极端光照条件时表现出独特的基因表达模式，这为理解动物对环境变化的适应机制提供了新的视角。

THE INFLUENCE OF LIGHT CYCLE ON ANIMAL REPRODUCTIVE CYCLE AND ITS PHYSIOLOGICAL MECHANISM
ABSTRACT
As one of the environmental factors, the light cycle has a significant impact on the reproductive cycle of animals. Studies have shown that light signals are transmitted to the pineal gland and the pituitary gland through the retinal-hypothalamic pathway, regulating the secretion of gonadotrophins, and then affecting the function of reproductive organs. The purpose of this study was to investigate the regulatory mechanisms and physiological responses of different light cycles to a reproductive cycle of various animals (including rodents, birds and fish). Through experimental design, we simulated natural light changes and combined molecular biology and endocrinology methods to analyze the effects of light cycle on hormone levels, reproductive organ development and behavioral patterns in animals. The results showed that under short day conditions, long days promoted the initiation of their reproductive function. Further studies showed that light signaling regulates the activation and inhibition of the reproductive axis by regulating the secretion of melatonin and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). Furthermore, we show that some species exhibit unique gene ex pression patterns during adaptation to extreme light conditions, providing new insights into understanding the mechanisms of animal adaptation to environmental changes.
