Sleep and Glucose Tolerance
Introduction
Epidemiology
Sleep? General introduction?
Hormonal Changes
Sympathetic Changes
Circadian effects
Increase in cortisol and growth hormone
a role of sympathetic activation—which negatively affects insulin secretion and sensitivity (71,72)—in response to sleep deprivation and fragmentation, reflected in an increase in blood pressure, lower heart rate variability and decreased baroreflex sensitivity (58,73). Some studies also reported increased catecholamine concentration following sleep deprivation (56,57,69).
Activation of Alpha adrenoceptors on beta cells inhibits secretion by decreasing
Effect due to deficit in slow wave sleep?
Paper by Tasali et al showing that slow wave sleep inhibition without disrupting sleep continuity
Marcheva and effect of circadian disruption on the pancreas
Effect of sleep disruption of molecular circadian clock
Short Wave Sleep?
Suppression of slow wave sleep without changing sleep time
decreased insulin sensitivity without compensation
reduced glucose tolerance and increased risk of diabetes
Magnitue of decrease in insulin sensitivty correlated to reduction in SWS
Cortisol
How is this indicated?
Sympathetic dominance again indicated through reduced heart rate variability
