Abstract
The in vivo pattern of circulating testosterone (T) during a 24 hr period was investigated in stock-fed and total parenterally nourished (TPN) rats. A diurnal rhythm of T was observed in control rats with highest concentrations occurring during the dark period. The loss of this rhythm in rats maintained on TPN shows that nutritional regimen affects circulating T and overrides the synchronizing effect of the light/dark cycle.
