• Description:
  Endocrinology is a subspecialty of internal medicine that focuses on the physiology and pathology of hormonal release and action. Hormones are chemical messengers that are secreted by endocrine cells, transported in the peripheral circulation and act on other cell types. This chapter will focus on three categories of hormones: 1) hormones of the hypothalamo-pituitary axes, in particular growth hormone (GH), prolactin, cortisol and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), 2) insulin, the major hormone involved in glucose metabolism, and 3) two hormones that play a major role in appetite regulation, leptin and ghrelin. The present chapter is illustrated in the slide-set 6 presentation from the Basics of Sleep Guide Slide Sets (v1 .1 ); references to slide numbers are provided. We are including a few additional figures illustrating findings that have emerged after the SRS Slide Set became available. Section A describes the typical hormonal profiles of young healthy adults. This section will show the impact of two major modulators of endocrine release, the sleep/wake cycle and the circadian process. Section B is dedicated to the impact of aging on sleep quality, hormones and glucose metabolism. Section C describes the impact of sleep disturbances on endocrine function and metabolism. Section D summarizes the effects of sleep deprivation and short sleep duration on hormones and glucose metabolism. [Description provided by NIOSH]
