TL;DR: Analysis of the nocturnal cortisol profiles and the concomitant patterns of sleep stage distribution indicates that the cortisol profile is not influenced by sleep deprivation, and tends to imply that cortisol-releasing mechanisms may be involved in the regulation of sleep.

TL;DR: In addition to the previously described 8- to 14-min oscillations, plasma glucose, insulin, and C-peptide oscillate at a mean 80-min periodicity in man during continuous enteral nutrition, which may reflect a pancreatic oscillatory mechanism and/or cyclic variations in gastrointestinal motility or peripheral glucose uptake.

TL;DR: A close temporal and quantitative relationship between GH secretion and delta wave activity is demonstrated, which may be evidence of common stimulatory mechanisms.

TL;DR: It is concluded that release of atrial natriuretic peptide decreases with continuous positive airway pressure treatment in those patients with obstructive sleep apnoea who have increased release ofAtrial nativity peptide before treatment.

TL;DR: The identical responses to exercise at the different quiescent periods tested, despite a general downward trend in basal cortisol levels, establish the primacy of such feedback mechanisms over those responsible for the circadian rhythm.
