Abstract
INTRODUCTION The association between diabetes and depressive symptoms is well recognized. However, the impact of depressive symptoms on prediabetes remains unclear. This study aims to explore the specific correlation between depressive symptoms and prediabetes. METHODS A total of 7467 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were included in this study, spanning five rounds of surveys conducted between 2007 and 2016. Weighted logistic regression was utilized to assess the relationship between depressive symptoms and prediabetes. RESULTS Compared with the normoglycemic population, individuals with prediabetes had a significantly higher probability of experiencing trouble sleeping (P = 0.020). After adjusting for non-glucose factors, there was no significant correlation between PHQ-9 and prediabetes; however, severe depressive symptoms were positively associated with abnormal fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels (OR = 1.093 [95 % CI 1.002, 1.192]). There was a positive correlation between trouble concentrating and FPG abnormalities (OR = 1.065 [95 % CI 1.004, 1.129]). LIMITATIONS The cross-sectional design limits causal inference. CONCLUSION Individuals with depressive symptoms, especially severe cases, should be targeted for prediabetes prevention and management efforts. The diverse symptom presentations may have distinct impacts on glucose, necessitating personalized prevention and management strategies.

[PMID: 38269248 PMCID: PMC10806568 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1333051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Background No sex-specific guidelines for surgical anti-obesity strategies have been proposed, partially due to the controversy regarding sex-related differences in weight loss after bariatric metabolic surgery. Objectives To explore sex dimorphism in the effect and predictors of weight loss after sleeve gastrectomy (SG), thereby providing clinical evidence for the sex-specific surgical treatment strategy. Methods In a prospective cohort design, participants scheduled for SG at an affiliated hospital between November 2020 and January 2022 were assessed for eligibility and allocated to the Male or Female group with a 1-year follow-up after surgery. The primary outcome was the sex difference in the weight-loss effect after SG indicated by both percentage of total weight loss (TWL%) and excess weight loss (EWL%). The secondary outcome was the analysis of sex-specific preoperative predictors of weight loss after SG based on univariate and multivariate analyses. Independent predictors were obtained to construct a nomogram model. The discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility of the nomogram were based on receiver operating characteristic curve, concordance index, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis, respectively. Results Ninety-five male and 226 female patients were initially included. After propensity score matching by baseline body mass index (BMI), 85 male and 143 female patients achieved comparable TWL% and EWL% for 1 year after SG. For male patients, baseline BMI, area under the curve for insulin during oral glucose tolerance test, and progesterone were independent predictors of weight loss after SG. Baseline BMI, age, thyroid stimulating hormone, and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale score were independent predictors for female patients. Conclusion No obvious sex difference is detected in the weight-loss effect after SG. Sex dimorphism exists in the predictors of weight loss after SG. Further research with long-term and a multicenter design is needed to confirm the predictive model.

Abstract
Lifestyle modification can lead to numerous health issues closely associated with sleep. Sleep deprivation and disturbances significantly affect inflammation, immunity, neurodegeneration, cognitive depletion, memory impairment, neuroplasticity, and insulin resistance. Sleep significantly impacts brain and memory formation, toxin excretion, hormonal function, metabolism, and motor and cognitive functions. Sleep restriction associated with insulin resistance affects these functions by interfering with the insulin signalling pathway, neurotransmission, inflammatory pathways, and plasticity of neurons. So, in this review, We discuss the evidence that suggests that neurodegeneration occurs via sleep and is associated with insulin resistance, along with the insulin signalling pathways involved in neurodegeneration and neuroplasticity, while exploring the role of hormones in these conditions.

Abstract
Sleep deprivation has become a common health hazard, affecting 37-58% of the population and promoting the occurrence and development of many diseases. To date, effective treatment strategies are still elusive. Accumulating evidence indicates that modulating the intestinal microbiota harbors significant potential for alleviating the deleterious impacts of sleep deprivation. This paper first reviews the effects of sleep deprivation on gastrointestinal diseases, metabolic diseases, and neuropsychiatric diseases, discussing its specific mechanisms of influence. We then focus on summarizing existing interventions, including probiotics, melatonin, prebiotics, diet, and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). Finally, we have discussed the advantages and limitations of each strategy. Compared with other strategies, probiotics showed a high potential in alleviating sleep deprivation-related hazards due to their reduced risk and high security. We suggest that future research should focus on the specific mechanisms by which probiotics mitigate the harms of sleep deprivation, such insights may unveil novel pathways for treating diseases exacerbated by insufficient sleep.

Associations of insomnia with insulin resistance traits: a cross-sectional and Mendelian Randomization study. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2023:7043128. [PMID: 36794917 DOI: 10.1210/clinem/dgad089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2022] [Revised: 01/17/2023] [Accepted: 02/09/2023] [Indexed: 02/17/2023]
Abstract
CONTEXT Insomnia is associated with insulin resistance (IR) in observational studies, however, whether insomnia is causally associated with IR remains unestablished. OBJECTIVE This study aims to estimate the causal associations of insomnia with IR and its related traits. METHODS In primary analyses, multivariable regression (MVR) and one-sample Mendelian randomization (1SMR) analyses were performed to estimate the associations of insomnia with IR (triglyceride-glucose [TyG] index and triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [TG/HDL-C] ratio) and its related traits (glucose level, TG, and HDL-C) in UK Biobank. Thereafter, two-sample MR (2SMR) analyses were used to validate the findings from primary analyses. Finally, the potential mediating effects of IR on the pathway of insomnia giving rise to T2D were examined using a two-step MR design. RESULTS Across the MVR, 1SMR, and their sensitivity analyses, we found consistent evidence suggesting that more frequent insomnia symptoms were significantly associated with higher values of TyG index (MVR: β = 0.024, P < 2.00E-16; 1SMR: β = 0.343, P < 2.00E-16), TG/HDL-C ratio (MVR: β = 0.016, P = 1.75E-13; 1SMR: β = 0.445, P < 2.00E-16), and TG level (MVR: β = 0.019 log mg/dl, P < 2.00E-16; 1SMR: β = 0.289 log mg/dL, P < 2.00E-16) after Bonferroni adjustment. Similar evidence was obtained by using 2SMR, and mediation analysis suggested that about a quarter (25.21%) of the association between insomnia symptoms and T2D was mediated by IR. CONCLUSIONS This study provides robust evidence supporting that more frequent insomnia symptoms are associated with IR and its related traits across different angles. These findings indicate that insomnia symptoms can be served as a promising target to improve IR and prevent subsequent T2D.

Abstract
Sleep serves important biological functions, and influences health and longevity through endocrine and metabolic related systems. Sleep debt, circadian misalignment and sleep disruption from obstructive sleep apnea is widespread in modern society and accumulates with life because recovery sleep is not completely restorative. Accumulated disordered sleep throughout life impacts the ageing process and the development of age-related diseases. When epidemiological and interventional studies are considered collectively, sleep loss and lower sleep duration are associated with lower morning, afternoon and 24-h testosterone; as well as higher afternoon, but not morning or 24-h cortisol. These reciprocal changes imbalances anabolic-catabolic signaling because testosterone and cortisol are respectively the main anabolic and catabolic signals in man. Fixing testosterone-cortisol balance by means of a novel dual-hormone clamp mitigates the induction of insulin resistance by sleep restriction and provided the first proof-of-concept that the metabolic harm from sleep loss can be ameliorated by approaches that do not require sleeping more. Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with lower testosterone, even after controlling for age and obesity whereas the conclusion that continuous positive airway pressure therapy has no effect on testosterone is premature because available studies are underpowered and better-quality studies suggest otherwise. High dose testosterone therapy induces OSA, but more physiological dosing may not; and this effect may be transient or may dissipate with longer term therapy. Studies investigating the origin of the diurnal testosterone rhythm, the effect of circadian misalignment on testosterone-cortisol balance, and methods to mitigate metabolic harm, are required.

Associations of testosterone and cortisol concentrations with sleep quality in Japanese male workers. COMPREHENSIVE PSYCHONEUROENDOCRINOLOGY 2022; 12:100158.

Abstract
Low testosterone concentrations are associated with disrupted sleep, and high levels of cortisol, which is elevated in response to stress, lead to insomnia. This study aimed to investigate the associations of testosterone and cortisol concentrations with sleep quality and to examine potential interactions between them in Japanese working men. This study was a cross-sectional design, and testosterone and cortisol concentrations in blood were the exposure variables and sleep parameters were the outcome variables. The Japanese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used to measure sleep quality, and it included the total duration of sleep, time in bed (TIB), and sleep efficacy. We included 178 men (mean age = 49.1 years, standard deviation = 9.0) who completed all components in the questionnaire related to sleep and provided blood samples. Testosterone and cortisol concentrations were negatively associated with TIB (standardized beta = −0.15 and −0.24, p < 0.05, respectively), while only testosterone concentrations were positively associated with sleep efficacy (standardized beta = 0.15, p < 0.05). An interaction effect of testosterone and cortisol was significant for TIB and sleep efficacy (standardized beta for interaction term = 0.40, p < 0.001 and −0.22, p = 0.012, respectively). When stratified by cortisol concentrations, the associations between testosterone concentrations and sleep parameters were modified. Our findings suggest that associations between testosterone concentrations and sleep parameters are stronger at low cortisol concentrations, but not at high cortisol concentrations. High cortisol concentrations may diminish associations between low testosterone concentrations and diminished sleep efficacy. Testosterone and cortisol levels were negatively associated with hours in bed. Testosterone concentrations were positively associated with sleep efficacy. Cortisol levels modified the associations between testosterone and sleep efficacy. Testosterone strongly associated with sleep efficacy in low cortisol levels. Cortisol levels may inhibit associations between testosterone and sleep efficacy.

Abstract
Context Night-shift work causes circadian misalignment, predicts the development of metabolic diseases, and complicates the interpretation of hormone measurements. Objective To investigate endogenous circadian rhythms, dissociated from behavioral and environmental confounds, in adrenal and gonadal steroids after simulated shift work. Methods Fourteen healthy adults (ages 25.8 ± 3.2 years) were randomized to 3 days of night or day (control) shift work followed by a constant routine protocol designed to experimentally unveil rhythms driven endogenously by the central circadian pacemaker. Blood was sampled every 3 hours for 24 hours during the constant routine to concurrently obtain 16 Δ4 steroid profiles by mass spectrometry. Cosinor analyses of these profiles provided mesor (mean abundance), amplitude (oscillation magnitude), and acrophase (peak timing). Results Night-shift work marginally increased cortisol by 1 μg/dL (P = 0.039), and inactive/weak derivatives cortisone (P = 0.003) and 18-hydroxycortisol (P < 0.001), but did not alter the mesor of potent androgens testosterone and 11-ketotestosterone. Adrenal-derived steroids, including 11-ketotestosterone (P < 0.01), showed robust circadian rhythmicity after either day- or night-shift work. In contrast, testosterone and progesterone showed no circadian pattern after both shift work conditions. Night-shift work did not alter the amplitude or acrophase of any of the steroid profiles. Conclusion Experimental circadian misalignment had minimal effects on steroidogenesis. Adrenal steroids, but not gonadal hormones, showed endogenous circadian regulation robust to prior shift schedule. This dichotomy may predispose night-shift workers to metabolic ill health. Furthermore, adrenal steroids, including cortisol and the main adrenal androgen 11-ketostosterone, should always be evaluated during the biological morning whereas assessment of gonadal steroids, particularly testosterone, is dependent on the shift-work schedule.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, there is no consensus on the effect of sleep deprivation on male serum testosterone. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the association between partial/total sleep deprivation and male serum testosterone level. METHODS The literature related to sleep deprivation and male serum testosterone in the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched from their inception to July 15, 2021. Data were pooled using the Stata 15 software. The results were presented as standard mean differences (SMDs) with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS Eighteen studies involving 252 men were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. The findings revealed that short-term partial sleep deprivation had no significant effect on male serum testosterone (SMD = -0.22; 95% CI: -0.5, 0.06; P = 0.13), while total sleep deprivation reduced the male testosterone levels (SMD = -0.64; 95% CI: -0.87, -0.42; P < 0.001). According to the intervention duration of total sleep deprivation, subgroup analysis was conducted by a fixed-effects model. The results revealed that the serum testosterone was significantly decreased after 24 h total sleep deprivation (SMD = - 0.67; 95% CI = - 0.93, -0.42, P < 0.001), as well as 40-48 h total sleep deprivation (SMD = - 0.74; 95% CI = - 1.22, -0.26, P = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis revealed that total sleep deprivation (more than or equal to 24 h) reduces the male testosterone levels, while short-term partial sleep deprivation has no significant effect on male serum testosterone. Sleep duration plays a pivotal role in maintaining male serum testosterone levels.
