Abstract
Four healthy young male volunteers were submitted to the study of circadian and circannual bioperiodicities of several hormones: FT3, FT4, Cortisol, HGH, prolactin, PTh and plasma insulin levels. They were observed for a whole year and their blood samples were collected six times a day, every other month. The results were analyzed by two-way ANOVA macroscopic analysis and Student r-test. Our data registered a circannual variation in the mean circadian plasma levels of the following hormones: Cortisol (peak in December), HGH (peak in April), FT3 (peak in April), insulin (peak in February). FT4, prolactin and PTH showed no cyclic variation during the period of observation.
