Abstract

A dramatic mid-day surge of cortisol with its onset concomitant with food intake was observed. Cortisol levels were unaffected by the evening meal. The magnitude and time course of the initiation of this mid-day peak of cortisol are markedly attenuated by food deprivation. These observations establish that within the circadian periodicity there exists a mid-day rhythm of cortisol secretion which appears to be synchronized by food intake.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
