Description
Summary:ABSTRACT Daily variations in adrenal secretion by glands from arctic rodents were measured in vitro . Serial-sacrifice, short-term incubation studies yield similar results to those data obtained through organ-culture methods. Adrenal secretory rates display some desynchronization from locomotor activity during the summer solstice, although circadian variation persists during all seasons of the arctic year.
