title: [Circadian rhythm of PGE2 level in plasma and condylar cartilage of young growing rats].
abstract: This paper reports the circadian rhythm of PEG2 level in plasma and condylar cartilage of young frowing rats. The samples were measured at 0:00, 4:00, 8:00, 12:00, 16:00, and 20:00 respectively. The count of PGE2 were determined by RIA and analysed with simple Cosinor and coordination. The results revealed: (1) The levels of PGE2 in plasma and condylar cartilage of young growing rats fluctuated in strong circadian rhythm; (2) The rhythm of PGE2 in plasma between 16:00 and 24:00 was significantly different from that between 4:00 and 12:00, so for analysing PGE2 level in plasma, one should proper sampling time or adjust it to circadian rhythm; (3) The circadian rhythm of PGE2 in condylar cartilage could provide important reference for reatments in dentistry and orthopaedics.
