Hello there,

I have been reading in my human physiology book - exams are coming up - and
read that in humans normal indoor lighting is too dim to function as a good
entrainer with regards to the sleep-wake cycle. I know that with induced
ovulaters they can use bright lights to get the job done, so I was wondering
with regards to ferrets and the possibility of there being a link to the
amount of light (daylight?) and adrenal neoplasia whether a normal 40 watt
bulb would have any effect on this.

Thank you all for any input.

Saskia
