Circadian rhythms are demonstrated in the tongue of adult rats for both the mitotic index of the basal epithelium and the uptake rate of injected 3H-thymidine by the tongue tip. The animals were entrained to a light-dark cycle for four weeks prior to the experiments with the light phase extending from 0600 to 1800 hours (CST). The daily fluctuation is approximately 300% for the mitotic index and 185% for the uptake rate of 3H-thymi-dine. The highest mitotic index occurs at 1100, and the highest uptake of 3H-thymidine occurs four hours earlier at 0700. The least activity for both parameters occurs during the first part of the dark span of the light-dark cycle. Estimates of several other rhythmic parameters are determined by a computerized method.
