Résumé

The interaction between oxidative status markers and biological rhythms is considered particularly important in the pathogenesis of many diseases and more effective therapies. We aimed to determine if the salivary secretion of myeloperoxidase exhibits diurnal variations, and if the potential daily variability differs seasonally. The study was performed in Poznan, Poland (52,25°N, 16,58°E) in 10 healthy male volunteers (age median 23.5 years). Whole mixed unstimulated saliva was collected in summer (August) and winter (December) during 36 h at 2-h intervals starting at 6 a.m. on Saturday and ending at 6 p.m. on Sunday, in the domestic setting. The samples were analysed for myeloperoxidase (MPO) and cortisol by immunoassays. The presence of the circadian rhythm of cortisol secretion in saliva confirmed the rhythmicity of the volunteers. For salivary MPO, significantly higher concentrations compared to midnight and noon were observed for 4 a.m. in both summer and winter. Using the cosinor analysis, the variations in salivary MPO levels showed a moderate fit for the 12-h period rhythm (acrophases: in summer 05:37/17:37, in winter 06:16/18:16), without significant differences in the rhythm parameters in summer and winter. However, higher self-reported Global Seasonal Score (which may predispose to seasonal affective disorder) was associated with significantly stronger relative amplitude (RS = 0.811) in winter season only. In conclusion, our findings suggest the possible ultradian rhythm for MPO in saliva, with two peaks during the day, regardless of the season.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
The interaction between oxidative status markers and biological rhythms is considered particularly important in the pathogenesis of many diseases and more effective therapies. We aimed to determine if the salivary secretion of myeloperoxidase exhibits diurnal variations, and if the potential daily variability differs seasonally.
METHODS METHODS
The study was performed in Poznan, Poland (52,25°N, 16,58°E) in 10 healthy male volunteers (age median 23.5 years). Whole mixed unstimulated saliva was collected in summer (August) and winter (December) during 36 h at 2-h intervals starting at 6 a.m. on Saturday and ending at 6 p.m. on Sunday, in the domestic setting. The samples were analysed for myeloperoxidase (MPO) and cortisol by immunoassays. The presence of the circadian rhythm of cortisol secretion in saliva confirmed the rhythmicity of the volunteers.
RESULTS RESULTS
For salivary MPO, significantly higher concentrations compared to midnight and noon were observed for 4 a.m. in both summer and winter. Using the cosinor analysis, the variations in salivary MPO levels showed a moderate fit for the 12-h period rhythm (acrophases: in summer 05:37/17:37, in winter 06:16/18:16), without significant differences in the rhythm parameters in summer and winter. However, higher self-reported Global Seasonal Score (which may predispose to seasonal affective disorder) was associated with significantly stronger relative amplitude (RS = 0.811) in winter season only.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
In conclusion, our findings suggest the possible ultradian rhythm for MPO in saliva, with two peaks during the day, regardless of the season.
