ALAN effects on gene expression are gene-specific. ALAN does not equally affect all physiological systems. ALAN effects on BMAL1 (A–D) were paralleled by those on three additional genes in the hypothalamus (SIRT1), liver (NRF1) and spleen (TLR4) (E–G), but not by other genes analysed across tissues (H–Q). Shown are log-transformed mRNA levels, separated by sampling time (mid-day: yellow; midnight: dark blue). Large symbols ± SEM connected by lines represent model estimates, whereas small symbols depict raw data points (N = 34 birds).
