Morning to evening changes of human pituitary and adrenal responses to specific stimuli. | LitMetric

Morning to evening changes of human pituitary and adrenal responses to specific stimuli.

Dipartimento di Biomedicina, Univesità degli Studi di Torino, Italy.

Published: February 1990

We performed a combined stimulation test with the simultaneous application of GnRH (100 micrograms), TRH (200 micrograms) and ACTH (10 micrograms) in 10 healthy adult males at two opposite clock timing, i.e. at 09:00 and 21:00 h. Pituitary (gonadotropins, PRL, TSH) and adrenal (cortisol, aldosterone, progesterone) hormones showed a common trend of enhanced responsiveness to the evening challenge. Differences reached statistical significance in the case of cortisol, aldosterone, PRL and FSH. These findings suggest that the responsiveness of some pituitary and adrenocortical hormones to specific stimuli is physiologically different in humans as a function of the clock timing, being higher in the evening than in the morning. From the clinical standpoint, however, differences in the magnitude of responses were not enough to recommend provocative testing at a particular clock time, at least for routine diagnostic purposes.
