    Journal: Psychiatry Clin Neurosci; 1998 Apr; 52(2):241-3. PubMed ID: 9628174.
    Abstract:
    We studied the circadian features of melatonin, cortisol, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), and growth hormone (GH) together with rectal temperature during 36 h continuous forced wakefulness without physical exercise under dim light condition (constant routine). Subjects consisted of four healthy men aged 22-24 years. Blood sampling was conducted hourly, and food and water were supplied bi-hourly during the constant routine. Melatonin, TSH and cortisol displayed clear circadian rhythms under constant routine condition. While GH secretion was unlikely to be driven solely by the circadian pacemaker, its suppression round BT nadir may indicate that GH secretion was modulated to some extent by circadian rhythm.
