“…In 1961, Kitay described an increased sensitivity of the female adrenal gland (58). Similar findings have previously been found by other authors after stimulation of the hypothalamic-hypophyseal-adrenal axis by the administration of ACTH or by different stressful conditions (56,57). Undetectable variations of ACTH plasma levels or the loss of its daily rhythmic secretion can provoke a chronic stimulation of the adrenal cortex and, consequently, adrenocortical hyperfunction with loss of the daily rhythm of cortisol secretion (56).…”

2 3 4 ABSTRACTThe pineal gland has been considered a magnetic receptor organ that regulates circadian rhythms by means of the secretion of melatonin, a potent oncostatic agent that prevents the initiation and promotion of cancer. ELF electromagnetic radiation, similar to that generated by power lines, can alter melatonin plasma levels.To study this effect, 4 OF1 mice generations have been reared subjected to a lifelong 15 pT, 50 Hz magnetic field action. This magnetic field was generated inside a Helmholtz coil system. The concentration of melatonin in the blood has been determined on 40 male mice of the third generation by means of RIA, as they reached sexual maturity (3 months).

These results could be the consequence of the applied magnetic field cumulative effect. The secretion rhythms of other hormones, at the level of the hypothalamic-hypophyseal axis, might be altered as an effect of those results. This chronobiological change could explain the different findings in the 4 generations of mice subjected to the same experimental model.
