Abstract
Studies were carried out to investigate the influence of adrenalectomy on the 24 hour periodicity in the hypothalamo-pituitary axis in adult male rat. Adrenal gland ablation resulted in the shift in the occurrence of peak content of hypothalamic LHRH and attenuation in the responsiveness of the pituitary to synthetic LHRH. Following adrenalectomy, the circadian serum LH peak was attenuated and serum FSH showed a 24 hour periodicity. In conclusion, the results suggest the possible role of adrenal gland in the maintenance of 24 hour periodicity of hormones in the hypothalamo-hypophyseal axis in male rat.
