Circadian rhythmicity of growth hormone at high altitude in man.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Circulatory levels of growth hormone (GH) were estimated at 0600 h, 1200 h, 1800 h and 2400 h in each of 10 subjects of sea level residents (SLR) in New Delhi (226 m) and in high altitude natives (HAN) settled at an altitude of 3650 m. Both in SLR and HAN the GH secretion showed an identical pattern, the values were lowest at 0600 h and highest at 2400 h. Nevertheless, in HAN the GH levels at different timings of the day were found to be significantly higher than in SLR.

Sleep and circadian rhythmicity both influence the 24-h profiles of the main pituitary and adrenal hormones. From studies using experimental strategies including complete and partial sleep deprivation, acute and chronic shifts in the sleep period, or complete sleep-wake reversal as occurs with transmeridian travel or shift-work, it appears that prolactin (PRL) and growth hormone (GH) profiles a...

To define the roles of circadian rhythmicity (intrinsic effects of time of day independent of the sleep or wake condition) and sleep (intrinsic effects of the sleep condition, irrespective of the time of day) on the 24-h variation in glucose tolerance, eight normal men were studied during constant glucose infusion for a total of 53 h. The period of study included 8 h of nocturnal sleep, 28 h of...

Many physiological processes fluctuate throughout the day/night and daily fluctuations are observed in brain and peripheral levels of several hormones, neuropeptides and transmitters. In turn, mediators under the "control" of the "master biological clock" reciprocally influence its function. Dysregulation in the rhythmicity of hormone release as well as hormone receptor sensitivity and availabi...
