Abstract

Significance: Sleep restriction and circadian clock disruption are associated with metabolic disorders including obesity and diabetes; this association can be studied by using the powerful tool of metabolomics. By using liquid chromatography/MS metabolomics, we have characterized plasma metabolites that were significantly affected by acute sleep deprivation (mainly lipids and acylcarnitines), all increasing during sleep deprivation. Observed increased levels of serotonin, tryptophan, and taurine may explain the antidepressive effect of sleep deprivation and deserve further study. Clear daily rhythms were observed in most metabolites, with 24 h wakefulness mainly reducing the amplitude of these rhythms. Our results further the understanding of sleep/wake regulation and the associated metabolic processes, and will be vital when using metabolic profiling to identify robust biomarkers for disease states and drug efficacy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
