Radioimmunoassayable (RIA) plasma growth hormone (GH) and prolactin (PRL) levels were determined at 3 hr intervals during a controlled 24-hr light-dark cycle in 10-day-old male and female rats; parallel measurements were made of brain monoamines (MA's), dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE) and serotonin (5-HT) concentration. Plasma GH and PRL and brain MA levels found in infant rats were compared to the same determinations made during the 24-hr cycle in 50-day-old male rats. GH levels were rather uniform and did not show circadian periodicity in the plasma of infant rats, while PRL levels showed a diurnal surge in the late afternoon hr (1800). In adult rats, GH levels exhibited wide fluctuations during the 24-hr cycle and no circadian periodicity, while PRL levels showed one diurnal (1500–1800) and one nocturnal (2400) surge. A pulsatile GH secretion was found in adult rats sampled at 15 min intervals over a period of 2 hr, which seemed to be lacking in infant rats. In the brain of infant rats, DA and NE levels exhibited circadian patterns which resembled the ones present in the brain of adult rats, whereas no circadian variations were present in 5-HT levels.
