“…Results of studies investigating the association between salivary ghrelin concentrations and body mass index (BMI) are contradictory (Abdalla & Choo, 2020; Aydin, 2007; Aydin et al, 2005; Li et al, 2011; Valli et al, 2021). Only the study of Li et al (2011) investigated children and adolescents.…”

Summary Ghrelin, a regulator of food intake and energy expenditure, has been shown to be associated with insufficient sleep. The goal of the present study was to investigate the effect of a single night of total sleep deprivation on fasting saliva ghrelin and on nocturnal variation of saliva ghrelin concentration. A further aim of the study was to investigate the influence of body mass index on changes in saliva ghrelin levels. Altogether 35 adolescents (18 boys; age: 13.8 ± 1.14 years) were studied on two subsequent days (sleep and total sleep deprivation). Saliva samples were collected during the two experimental nights at 21:00 hours, 01:00 hours and 06:00 hours. Total‐ghrelin concentration showed a continuous increase from the evening until 06:00 hours. This increase was blunted significantly (p = 0.003) by total sleep deprivation. Total‐ghrelin level was significantly lower (p = 0.02) during total sleep deprivation at 06:00 hours (median 403.6 pg ml−1; 95% confidence interval: 343.1–468.9 pg ml−1) as compared with values during the sleep condition (median 471.2 pg ml−1; 95% confidence interval: 205.4–1578.7 pg ml−1). Acyl‐ghrelin levels did not present any change at the three time points, and were not affected by total sleep deprivation. Stratifying the study population according to body mass index (normal weight and overweight/obese groups), the blunting effect of total sleep deprivation was more pronounced in the obese/overweight group (sleep: median 428.2 pg ml−1; 95% confidence interval: 331.3–606.9 pg ml−1 versus total sleep deprivation: median 333.1 pg ml−1; 95% confidence interval: 261.5–412.9 pg ml−1; p = 0.0479). Saliva total‐ghrelin concentrations gradually increased during the night, and total sleep deprivation significantly blunted this increase. This blunting effect was mainly observed in subjects with overweight/obesity. The physiological and clinical implications of the present observation are to be clarified by further studies.
