Circadian endocrine time structure in humans above 80 years of age. 1984

D J Lakatua, and G Y Nicolau, and C Bogdan, and E Petrescu, and L L Sackett-Lundeen, and P W Irvine, and E Haus

The circadian rhythms in blood hormone concentrations of 17 pituitary, adrenal, pancreatic, testicular, and thyroid hormones were determined in 9 women and 5 men 81 to 91 years of age. Six samples over a 24-hr span were studied for each hormone. Even with the small sample available, 9 of the 17 hormones determined showed a statistically significant circadian rhythm as a group phenomenon (prolactin, estradiol, 17-hydroxyprogesterone, insulin, C-peptide, thyroid stimulating hormone, aldosterone, cortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate). No rhythm detection by population mean cosinor analysis at the .05 level was obtained in this relatively small group of subjects for adrenocorticotropic hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, growth hormone, luteinizing hormone, triiodothyronine, thyroxine, progesterone (determined in women only) and testosterone (determined in men only).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D010187 Pancreatic Hormones Peptide hormones secreted into the blood by cells in the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS of the pancreas. The alpha cells secrete glucagon; the beta cells secrete insulin; the delta cells secrete somatostatin; and the PP cells secrete pancreatic polypeptide. Hormones, Pancreatic
D010907 Pituitary Hormones Hormones secreted by the PITUITARY GLAND including those from the anterior lobe (adenohypophysis), the posterior lobe (neurohypophysis), and the ill-defined intermediate lobe. Structurally, they include small peptides, proteins, and glycoproteins. They are under the regulation of neural signals (NEUROTRANSMITTERS) or neuroendocrine signals (HYPOTHALAMIC HORMONES) from the hypothalamus as well as feedback from their targets such as ADRENAL CORTEX HORMONES; ANDROGENS; ESTROGENS. Hormones, Pituitary
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays
D002940 Circadian Rhythm The regular recurrence, in cycles of about 24 hours, of biological processes or activities, such as sensitivity to drugs or environmental and physiological stimuli.

D005260 Female Females
D006728 Hormones Chemical substances having a specific regulatory effect on the activity of a certain organ or organs. The term was originally applied to substances secreted by various ENDOCRINE GLANDS and transported in the bloodstream to the target organs. It is sometimes extended to include those substances that are not produced by the endocrine glands but that have similar effects.

D000324 Adrenocorticotropic Hormone An anterior pituitary hormone that stimulates the ADRENAL CORTEX and its production of CORTICOSTEROIDS. ACTH is a 39-amino acid polypeptide of which the N-terminal 24-amino acid segment is identical in all species and contains the adrenocorticotrophic activity. Upon further tissue-specific processing, ACTH can yield ALPHA-MSH and corticotrophin-like intermediate lobe peptide (CLIP).

D000368 Aged A person 65 years of age or older. For a person older than 79 years, AGED, 80 AND OVER is available. Elderly
