THE EFFECT OF LIGHT ON THE KETOSTEROID EXCRETION.

Abstract

The day-night rhythmicity of ketosteroid excretion was studied in hospitalized patients, as well as the effect of light or the influence of the temporary elimination of light on the extent and the rhythm of the ketosteroid excretion. The 12 hour night fraction proved to be 30.5% less than the same fraction taken during the day. Complete darkness lastinf from 7 to 10 days reduced the mean value of the excreted ketosteroids, although the day-night rhythm persisted. (Author)
