The sleep-wake behaviour of LH, FSH, PRI, GH and TSH was studied in seven cryptorchid patients (four unilateral and three bilateral cryptorchids) average age 12 years and in nine normal pubertal boys of 13 years (mean age). Blood samples were collected by a continuous withdrawal pump, every hour, for 24 h. The hormonal concentration for every fraction of time was measured and related to the sleep (Sc-), wake (Wc-) and total 24 h period (Dc-). The integrated concentrations of the corresponding periods (IS, IW, ID) were calculated as well as their ratios (IS/IW; IS/ID%). For GH and TSH, the data obtained demonstrated no differences between cryptorchid and pubertal subjects. The PRL secretion in cryptorchid patients was moderately increased during the hours of nocturnal sleep. A normal pubertal sleep-wake rhythm was found for gonadotrophins in both groups of subjects. More marked levels of LH secretion were observed in cryptorchid boys compared to normal pubertals. The presence of a sleep-wake rhythm was also found in the cryptorchid patients and normal pubertal subjects in the P 1 stage. These data suggest that the CNS "programme" which controls the onset of puberty may be normal in cryptorchid patients.
