Materials and methods We analyzed the glycemic profile measured by 72h-CGMS in 85 patients with T1D (29 female), resulting in 255 overnight periods. We assessed the nocturnal glycemic profile and the accuracy of the CGMS sensor per night. Fasting hyperglycemia was categorized into dawn phenomenon when there was no nocturnal hypoglycemia followed by a minimum 10mg/dL rise plasma between 4: 00h-7...

During the month of Muslim fasting (Ramadan) many people alter their sleeping habits and stay awake most of the night. We investigated the effect of this alteration on morning and midnight cortisol levels in 10 healthy adults in their homes. Four of the subjects showed alteration of the cortisol rhythm during the last 2 weeks of fasting with reversal of the morning/midnight ratio in some values...

over a billion of muslims fast worldwide during ramadan each year. through this religious custom, fasting contributes to their health as well as their spiritual growth. however, available evidence regarding the health-benefits of ramadan fasting is scarce and highly contentious. although islam exempts patients from fasting, many fast conceivably, and their clinical condition is prone to deterio...

Background: Fasting during the holy month of Ramadan (fasting) for Muslims is a religious duty. The impact of fasting on some diseases has been reported in medical literature. This study evaluated the effects of fasting on appendicitis. In this population-based descriptive study, we investigated whether the incidence of acute appendicitis differs during fasting compared to other non fasting lun...

High respiratory quotient (RQ) has been associated with fat mass (FM) gain in some, but not all studies. Variability among results may reflect differences in the RQ variable measured (fasting vs. 24-h) or may be due to differences in control for factors that affect RQ, such as diet, energy balance, circulating insulin, and insulin sensitivity. The objective of this study was to determine whethe...

Abstract: The main goal of this work was to investigate how the abundance and richness Arctiinae moths varies over time, during night. Specifically, we analyzed following questions: (1) Is there a relationship between with temperature relative humidity? (2) What are hours activity each species moth? (3) Does composition differ night? (4) it necessary sample group throughout night have represent...

OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of experimental changes in children's sleep duration on self-reported food intake, food reinforcement, appetite-regulating hormones, and measured weight. METHODS Using a within-subjects, counterbalanced, crossover design, 37 children, 8 to 11 years of age (27% overweight/obese) completed a 3-week study. Children slept their typical amount at home for 1 week and...

Administration of ghrelin, the endogenous ligand for the GH secretagogue receptor, stimulates not only GH secretion but also appetite and food intake in humans. Endogenous ghrelin levels display a distinct circadian rhythm, which is reciprocal to that of insulin and presumed to be meal dependent and not associated with GH secretion. We tested the hypothesis that food deprivation could impact ci...
