Circadian and circannual rhythms of several enzymes of lysosomal origin in human plasma.
The circadian and circannual group rhythms in the plasma concentrations of the following lysosomal enzymes were studied in women and men: beta-D-N-acetylglucosaminidase, beta-D-glucuronidase, beta-D-glucosidase, beta-D-galactosidase, alpha-D-galactosidase, alpha-L-fucosidase and alpha-D-mannosidase. The circadian rhythm was detected in all the tested enzymes of women, and only in alpha-D-galactosidase, beta-D-glucosidase, alpha-D-mannosidase and beta-D-N-acetylglucosaminidase of men. A statistically significant difference between genders in the circadian rhythm was exhibited by beta-D-galactosidase, beta-D-glucosidase, beta-D-N-acetylglucosaminidase, beta-D-glucuronidase, alpha-D-galactosidase and alpha-L-fucosidase. A circannual rhythm was detected in all the tested enzymes, with the exception of beta-D-glucuronidase and beta-D-N-acetylglucosaminidase, without any statistically significant difference between genders. The group rhythms of some of the enzymes (alpha-D-galactosidase, beta-D-glucosidase, beta-D-galactosidase) showed similar values of both circadian and circannual acrophases, suggesting that they may be subjected as a group to the same chronobiological coordination. The chronobiological rhythms of lysosomal enzymes were different from those of lactate dehydrogenase and alpha 1-antitrypsin, indicating that these rhythms are not merely reflecting fluctuations of the water content of plasma. No in-phase relationship was observed between the circadian and circannual rhythms of plasma cortisol and those of the tested lysosomal enzymes, excluding a direct chronobiological relationship between this hormone and lysosomal enzymes.
