Secretion of LH and FSH During Sleep in Man

摘要: Increased secretion of ACTH during sleep occurs in the early morning hours, at a time when REM is maximal (Weitzman et al. 1966, Mandell Rubin 1969, Roffwarg 1970). growth hormone, on other hand, primarily first few hours after onset and closely related to slow-wave (stage 3–4) (Takahashi 1968, Honda Parker Sassin 1969a, Mace The release can be dissociated from by acute sleep-wake reversal 1968), but hormone follows intimately (Sassin 1969b, Karacan 1970) not alterable manipulations which affect waking (Vander-laan 1970, Rossman 1971, Zir 1971). possibility that neural mechanisms control both patterns some anterior pituitary hormones enhanced evidence biogenic amines have neurotransmitter roles (Jouvet 1968) hypothalamus releasing inhibiting factors (Wurtman investigation thus warranted, we report herein study luteinizing (LH, ICSH) follicle-stimulating (FSH) normal young men.
