Circadian rhythms of adenosine deaminase activity in human erythrocytes: a transverse study on young, elderly and senile demented subjects. 1985

Adenosine deaminase activity (ADA) was determined around the clock in human plasma from different groups of subjects: presumably clinically healthy women in Minneapolis, USA; healthy medical students, healthy elderly men and women, and mentally ill patients in Paris, France. In addition to analyses of variance, circadian characteristics were estimated individually and summarized by population-mean cosinor for each group. Technical and sampling considerations are documented: the individualized assessment of a circadian rhythm in adenosine deaminase is feasible in 8 out of 11 series from clinically healthy women covering 24h at 20-min intervals. A circadian population rhythm could be determined for the elderly men and women (p less than 0.05) and tentatively (p = 0.053) for the senile demented patients. A difference in circadian group rhythm characteristics found between the healthy elderly subjects and patients with senile dementia deserves further exploration.

D011388 Prolactin A lactogenic hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). It is a polypeptide of approximately 23 kD. Besides its major action on lactation, in some species prolactin exerts effects on reproduction, maternal behavior, fat metabolism, immunomodulation and osmoregulation. Prolactin receptors are present in the mammary gland, hypothalamus, liver, ovary, testis, and prostate.

D003704 Dementia An acquired organic mental disorder with loss of intellectual abilities of sufficient severity to interfere with social or occupational functioning. The dysfunction is multifaceted and involves memory, behavior, personality, judgment, attention, spatial relations, language, abstract thought, and other executive functions. The intellectual decline is usually progressive, and initially spares the level of consciousness.
