The circadian rhythm can be reset by a variety of substances. Prostaglandin J 2 (PGJ 2 ) is one such substance and resets the circadian rhythm in fibroblasts. In our current study, we examined the phase‐dependent phase shift following PGJ 2 treatment using a real‐time luciferase luminescence monitoring system. In the phase response curves, we observed 12 h differences in the times of peaks in comparison with the same analysis for forskolin. Quantification of clock gene mRNAs following PGJ 2 administration additionally revealed a rapid decrease in the Per1 , Rev‐erbAα and Dbp levels. Our current findings thus suggest that PGJ 2 resets the peripheral circadian clock via a mechanism that is distinct from that used by forskolin (FK).
