Many physiological systems rely on hormones to communicate and time cellular and tissue-level functions. Most endocrine systems are dynamic and governed by complex regulatory systems and/or feedback mechanisms to generate precise patterns and modes of hormone release in order to optimize control of physiological and cellular processes. This Special Issue focuses on hormone release patterns (ultradian, infradian, pulsatile, circadian), with a special emphasis on the hypothalamic-pituitary axis as well as melatonin release, and how these patterns of hormone secretion change during life stages and disease.
许多生理系统依赖激素来进行细胞和组织水平功能的通讯和定时。大多数内分泌系统是动态的，并受复杂的调节系统和/或反馈机制的控制，以产生精确的激素释放模式和模式，从而优化对生理和细胞过程的控制。本特刊重点介绍激素释放模式（超昼夜、亚昼夜、脉冲、昼夜），特别强调下丘脑-垂体轴以及褪黑素的释放，以及这些激素分泌模式在生命阶段和疾病中的变化。
