  • Title: Circadian variation of platelet 3H-imipramine binding, platelet serotonin content, and plasma cortisol in healthy volunteers.
    Author: Montero D, Ofori-Adjei D, Wägner A.
    Journal: Biol Psychiatry; 1989 Dec; 26(8):794-804. PubMed ID: 2556189.
    Abstract:
    Platelet 3H-imipramine binding, platelet serotonin content, and plasma cortisol were measured in 10 healthy female volunteers. Samples were taken on 5 occasions with a 6-hr interval during a 24-hr period within 1 week in May. Although there were individual variations in the biochemical parameters over a 24-hr period, we could not establish a clear common circadian rhythm for all subjects in platelet 3H-imipramine binding and platelet serotonin concentrations. During the night, there was a significant decrease in Bmax values and a slight, but not significant, increase in serotonin concentrations. A distinct circadian rhythm was obtained for plasma cortisol, with lowest values during the night.
