). TH inhibit TSH secretion even faster than TRH or TSH transcription. This response may be related to the rapid up-regulation of expression and activity of the TRH-degrading enzyme by T 4 in tanycytes. Increased inactivation of TRH released from the ME

the majority of them were focused on insulin levels and/or resistance. Glucose production during fasting is crucial to maintain glycemia within physiological ranges, and is regulated by several hormones, such as glucagon, catecholamines, and

investigations have shown that 48-h fasting dramatically suppresses pulsatile luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion in female rats, and the suppression is largely dependent on the estrogenic milieu ( Cagampang et al. 1991 , Maeda et al. 1996 ). As such, 48-h

Introduction During fasting, profound changes occur in the hypothalamic part of the hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid axis (HPT axis), i.e. increased type 2 deiodinase (D2) activity in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) ( Diano et al. 1998

SUMMARY

The daily rhythm of plasma tyrosine was studied in obese subjects during total fasting, because of the relative constancy of the metabolic processes in this state. The plasma levels of tyrosine showed circadian fluctuations which were similar, although less pronounced, to those observed by other authors. The lowest values occurred at 03.00 h and the highest at 08.00 h with a second rise at 19.00 h.
