Lack of sleep (FS) refers to the inadequate amount of sleep hours to achieve rest, ideal functioning, performance and well-being; the time required varies throughout life, a pattern of 7-8 hours per night is established for the young adult. During the phases of sleep, I and IV (no -REM sleep, NREM), endocrine activation is generated, determined by the secretion of growth hormone, is ultimately related to the secretion of ghrelin that allows positive feedback, and increase energy expenditure translated into the release of regulatory hormones from food intake and satiety, associated with obesity. The goal of the study was to find the relationship between lack of sleep and plasma acylated ghrelin levels (GRp) in the young adult with obesity. Fifty-six young adults with obesity were studied, forming into 2 groups randomly (n = 28), a control group (GC) with normal sleep hours and experimental group (GE) with lack of sleep, participants diagnosed with chronic diseases, disorders were excluded from sleep, with hormonal treatment or to fall asleep, those who consume psychoactive substances. BMI determination, plasma acylated ghrelin and identification of sleep hours were performed. The analysis of GRp showed statistically significant differences between both groups and was correlated inversely with the hours of sleep. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
