title: [Behavior of basal values and circadian rhythm of ACTH, cortisol, PRL and GH in a high-protein diet].
abstract: Basal values and circadian rhythm of cortisol, ACTH, GH and PRL were studied in 8 normal subjects during a normal balanced caloric diet and during a high protein diet ( + 12% proteins ). GH, ACTH and cortisol levels were considerably higher following the protein rich diet probably on account of the metabolic processes directly related to the higher protein load.
