In order to investigate the effect of room air-conditioning in summer on the endocrine function, daily excretions of urinary 17-ketosteroids (17-KS), 17-hydroxycorticosteroids (17-OHCS) and vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) were measured on six healthy adults (4 males and 2 females) during the summer in 1981, while they were working in office without air-conditioning for the first 14 days (standard period) and then in office with air-conditioning for the following 23 days (cooling period) .<BR>Because of small number of subjects, the effect of room air-conditioning on the endocrine function was not fully elucidated, but the findings suggested that the room air-conditioning could slightly reduce the effect of hot environment on the endocrine function and also had the tendency to increase daily excretions of urinary variables.
