Growth hormone and cortisol are two hormones that have an impact on glucose regulation. Growth hormone is typically elevated at onset of sleep with highest levels during slow wave sleep (SWS) while cortisol levels are greatly increased during the second half of the sleep, predominantly in REM sle...

Just last year researchers found that after four nights of getting only four hours of sleep, study participants had insulin levels similar to those in diabetic and obese individuals. Whoa, scary. So, while the jury's still out on all the scientific specifics of a good night's sleep, we'...
Persistent inadequacy of vitamin D may also increase the risk for obstructive sleep apnea via promotion of adenotonsillar hypertrophy, airway muscle myopathy, and/or chronic rhinitis. Much remains to be learned concerning the complex relationship between chronically low levels of vitamin D, normal ...
How do testosterone levels affect the metabolism? What are circadian rhythms? How are they related to sleep and the biological clock? How does the human digestive system regulate appetite and consumption of food? In what ways is a metabolic pathway able t...
Sleep.Sleep helps regulate your glucose, or blood sugar. A lack of sleep causes your body to have trouble with glucose levels, leading to a lack of energy. Good sleep habits don’t involve counting minutes and sleep aids. Make sure you’re getting good sleep by: ...
You're not dreaming -- it's true. Your sleep can affect your weight. Here are tips that can help.
Even though actual collected data argue in favor of a role of sleep in brain energy balance-homeostasis, they do not support a critical and direct involvement of glycogen metabolism on sleep regulation. For instance, glycogen levels during the sleep-wake cycle are driven by different physiological...
Nutrients in the gut stimulate the release of several appetite modulators acting at central and peripheral levels to mediate appetite and glucose metabolism. After an eight-day exposure of zebrafish larvae to probiotic, high-throughput ... S Falcinelli,A Rodiles,S Unniappan,... - 《Scientific Re...
Contrary to the only previous study in humans, which reported an insignificant 3% reduction in CMRO2 during sleep, we found a deep-sleep-associated statistically highly significant 25% decrease in CMRO2, a magnitude of depression according with studies of glucose uptake and reaching levels otherwise...
