ABO* *Department of Immunology, First Department of Surgery, and Department of Hygienics, Niigata University School of Medicine, Niigta, Japan (Accepted for publication 28 August 1997) There are physiological variations in the levels of leucocytes. Among these, the circadian rhythm is veryimportant in terms of the magnitude. Since newly identified lymphocyte subsets (i.e. extrathymic Tcells) have recently been detected, a comprehensive study of the circadian rhythm was conducted. Allleucocytes were found to vary in number or proportion with a circadian rhythm and were classified intotwo groups. One group—granulocytes, macrophages, natural killer (NK) cells, extrathymic T cells, gdT cells, and CD8þ subset—showed an increase in the daytime (i.e. daytime rhythm). The other group—T cells, B cells, ab T cells, and CD4þ subset—showed an increase at night. Humans are active and showsympathetic nerve dominance in the daytime. Interestingly, granulocytes and lymphocyte subsets withthe daytime rhythm were found to carry a high density of adrenergic receptors. On the other hand,lymphocyte subsets with the night rhythm carried a high proportion of cholinergic receptors. Reflectingthis situation, exercise prominently increased the number of cells with the daytime rhythm. Theseresults suggest that the levels of leucocytes may be under the regulation of the autonomic nervoussystem.

Circadian rhythm in the serum level of catecholamines One of the greatest circadian variables is physical activity. It may influence the production level of catecholamines. In these experi- ments, the variation in serum level of catecholamines was first confirmed in five healthy donors (Fig. 3). Sera were obtained at the same times as their circadian rhythms had been examined pre- viously. The levels of both adrenaline and noradrenaline varied with a circadian rhythm, showing an increase in the daytime(P 0·001 in Roger’s method).

There was a tendency for the group of cells with the daytimerhythm to have a higher level of adrenergic receptors. If thisfinding is valid, exercise (i.e. high physical activity accompanied before and after exercise (Fig. 6). In both subjects, the number of by a high production of catecholamines) may induce some specific total leucocytes and granulocytes increased substantially at the variation patterns. This possibility was examined in two healthy post-exercise time (i.e. just and 4 h after exercise). Although the subjects who ran for 1 h. The number and proportion of leucocytes proportion of granulocytes decreased just after exercise, their and lymphocyte subsets were enumerated at three points of time absolute number increased slightly. In the case of lymphocytes,the absolute number and proportion transiently increased (just afterexercise), but these retured to normal or even lower levels 4 h after exercise. As shown later, this increase in the number and propor- tion of lymphocytes was due to the increase in the number and proportion of NK cells and extrathymic T cells.
All proportional increases of lymphocyte subsets seen after exercise were for cells with daytime rhythm The variation in the proportion of lymphocyte subsets was then examined after exercise (Fig. 7). The proportion of NKcells and extrathymic T cells increased just after exercise, without exception, in both subjects. In sharp contrast, the proportion ofconventional T cells decreased prominently.
