Circadian Modulation of Endocrine Secretion

  • Chapter
Circadian Clocks

Part of the book series: Handbook of Behavioral Neurobiology ((HBNE,volume 12))

Abstract

A high degree of temporal organization exists in the endocrine system and is reflected by distinct 24-hour temporal patterns of secretory activity for each endocrine axis. One hormone may be actively secreted in a complex, pulsatile pattern while another may be in a quiescent period. Much of the temporal variability and organization of endocrine activity results from modulatory effects of circadian rhythmicity, a near-24-hour endogenous oscillation originating in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus and from the effects of sleep/wake homeostasis controlled by diverse and diffuse neural centers, as depicted in Figure 1.. These rhythmic patterns of hormonal secretion are thought to provide internal temporal organization through the coordination of physiologic processes in the time domain, and to also provide an adaptive synchronization of the organism relative to predictable variations of the external environment.
