Partial sleep restriction modulates secretory activity of thyrotropic axis in healthy men

Summary Sleep and endocrine function are known to be closely related, but studies on the effect of moderate sleep loss on endocrine axes are still sparse. We examined the influence of partial sleep restriction for 2 days on the secretory activity of the thyrotropic axis. Fifteen healthy, normal‐weig...

Description
Summary:Summary Sleep and endocrine function are known to be closely related, but studies on the effect of moderate sleep loss on endocrine axes are still sparse. We examined the influence of partial sleep restriction for 2 days on the secretory activity of the thyrotropic axis. Fifteen healthy, normal‐weight men were tested in a balanced, cross‐over study. Serum concentrations of thyrotrophin (TSH), free triiodothyronine (fT3) and free thyroxine (fT4) were monitored at 1‐h intervals during a 15‐h daytime period (08:00–23:00 h) following two nights of restricted sleep (bedtime 02:45–07:00 h) and two nights of regular sleep (bedtime 22:45–07:00 h), respectively. Serum concentrations of fT3 (P
