Journal ArticleDOI
Leptin Levels Are Dependent on Sleep Duration: Relationships with Sympathovagal Balance, Carbohydrate Regulation, Cortisol, and Thyrotropin
Karine Spiegel,Rachel Leproult,Mireille L’Hermite-Balériaux,Georges Copinschi,Plamen D. Penev,Eve Van Cauter +5 more
TL;DR: Sleep modulates a major component of the neuroendocrine control of appetite, and the effects of sleep duration on leptin were quantitatively associated with alterations of the cortisol and TSH profiles and were accompanied by an elevation of postbreakfast homeostasis model assessment values.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuroendocrine rhythms and sleep in aging men
A. Van Coevorden,J. Mockel,Eric Laurent,Myriam Kerkhofs,Mireille L’Hermite-Balériaux,Christine Gervy Decoster,Pierre Neve,E. Van Cauter +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the normal process of aging involves alterations in the central mechanisms controlling the temporal organization of endocrine release in addition to a reduction of secretory outputs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exercise elicits phase shifts and acute alterations of melatonin that vary with circadian phase
Orfeu M. Buxton,Calvin W. Lee,Mireille L’Hermite-Balériaux,Fred W. Turek,Eve Van Cauter,Eve Van Cauter +5 more
TL;DR: A longer duration of exercise exposure and/or repeated daily exposure to exercise may be necessary for reliable phase-shifting of the human circadian system and that early evening exercise of high intensity may induce phase advances relevant for nonphotic entrainment of thehuman circadian system are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous stimulation of slow-wave sleep and growth hormone secretion by gamma-hydroxybutyrate in normal young Men.
E. Van Cauter,Laurence Plat,Martin B. Scharf,Rachel Leproult,S. Cespedes,Mireille L’Hermite-Balériaux,Georges Copinschi +6 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that pharmacological agents that reliably stimulate SW sleep, such as GHB, may represent a novel class of powerful GH secretagogues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transition from Dim to Bright Light in the Morning Induces an Immediate Elevation of Cortisol Levels
Rachel Leproult,Rachel Leproult,E.F. Colecchia,Mireille L’Hermite-Balériaux,Eve Van Cauter,Eve Van Cauter +5 more
TL;DR: The data unambiguously demonstrate an effect of light on the corticotropic axis that is dependent on time of day.
