Diurnal changes of biochemical metabolic markers in healthy young males - the Bispebjerg study of diurnal variations

25 Citationer (Scopus)

Abstract

BACKGROUND: To examine whether time of the day has an effect on the circulating levels of metabolism parameters.

METHODS: Venous blood samples were obtained under standardized conditions from 24 healthy young men every third hour through 24 hours. The metabolic markers and melatonin were examined at each time-point and data were analyzed by rhythmometric statistical methods.

RESULTS: The normal 24-h rhythms of the participants were confirmed by significant oscillation of melatonin (p < 0.0001). Cosinor analysis revealed significant diurnal 24-h rhythms of five of the seven examined markers: Total cholesterol (p = 0.01, amplitude (amp) = 0.18 mmol/L) peaking in the early afternoon, Glucose (p < 0.0001, amp = 0.35 mmol/L) peaking around midnight, C-peptide (p < 0.001, amp = 360 pmol/L), triglyceride (p < 0.0001, amp = 0.37 mmol/L) peaking in the afternoon and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p = 0.003, amp = 0.16 mmol/L) peaking in the morning. C-peptide, triglyceride, and glucose had the highest 24-h oscillations in proportion to the reference ranges of the parameters for healthy young men. Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) (p = 0.07, amp = 0.57 mmol/L) and high-density lipoprotein (p = 0.09, amp = 0.06 mmol/L) did not show significant oscillations.

CONCLUSIONS: When diagnosing and monitoring metabolic disorders compensation for the 24-h variation of the biochemical metabolic markers is needed especially C-peptide, triglyceride and glucose. Furthermore, the stable HbA1c level through 24 h makes it an accurate diagnostic test for diabetes mellitus.
