The hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis appears to play an important role in regulating the circadian fluctuations of brain-gut peptides, as well as the cell cycle of the gastrointestinal mucosa. Since dexamethasone treatment tended to restore circadian fluctuations lost to adren-x, the influence of adrenal glucocorticoids in the coordination of the rhythms of regulatory peptides and cell cycle kinetics appears to be substantial.
下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺轴似乎在调节脑肠肽的昼夜波动以及胃肠道黏膜的细胞周期中发挥重要作用。由于地塞米松治疗倾向于恢复因肾上腺切除而丧失的昼夜波动,肾上腺糖皮质激素在调节肽节律和细胞周期动力学的协调方面的影响似乎很大。
