Abstract
Total T lymphocytes and their subsets CD3+8+, CD3+4+, CD4+45R+, respec tively TCRab+ and TCRgd+ cells as well as CD19+B cells exhibited signi ficantly circadian variations in venous blood from healthy men with pe ak times between 23.00 to 24.00 h, respectively around 21.00 h. Natura l killer (NK) cells peaked between 11.00 and 12.00 h insignificantly. A similar inverse relationship was found between T (B) cells and plasm a levels of ACTH, cortisol and human growth hormone, whereas NK cells and prolactin levels may be related in another way.
