title: Effect of bone injury on circadian periodicity of plasma 17-hydroxy corticosteroids (17-OHCS) in rabbits.
abstract: Bone injury inflicted at varying time intervals during 24 hr day-night cycle caused significant varying increase in plasma 17-OHCS levels in all traumatized animals and the levels remained elevated up to 24 hr after trauma. The level of plasma 17-OHCS was found to be aberrated in all the traumatized animals. Thus, adequate adrenocortical response to trauma and aberration in the adrenocortical secretory activity appears inevitable irrespective of the time at which the trauma is produced. However, the degree of response depends on the particular time at which the trauma is inflicted.
