Total ghrelin and adiponectin were measured by radioimmunoassay (Linco Research).
The mechanism linking short sleep with weight gain is unknown, but Mignot and colleagues' study in this month's PLoS Medicine [3] adds to the growing evidence implicating leptin and ghrelin, the two key opposing hormones involved in appetite regulation.
Mignot and colleagues' data are in accord with human and animal studies that show that experimental curtailment of sleep leads to lower levels of leptin [8,9,10,11] and increased ghrelin [12].
Elevated ghrelin mainly correlated with acute sleep loss as measured by polysomnography immediately prior to blood sampling (see Table 4; Figure 3B), while reduced leptin correlated with chronic sleep restriction indicated by self-reported sleep measures (see Table 4; Figure 3A).
We also report a significant association of sleep duration with leptin and ghrelin that is independent of BMI, age, sex, SDB, and other possible confounding factors (analysis not shown for SDB and other confounders).
