“…The most remarkable finding in this study was the clear-cut changeless in periodically varying of serum estradiol levels after SD. This finding is consistent with that reported by Antunes et al [22]. They found that estrus cycle was disturbed and plasma estradiol concentrations were significantly decreased following paradoxical SD.…”

“…Our study complements and extends other investigations of gender response to SD (13). In contrast to males, NOD female mice did present lymphopenia, possibly induced by survival mechanisms of disrupted T-cells, supporting the occurrence of sexual dimorphism in the prevalence of diabetes in NOD in most colonies (4), and showing that SD results in distinct immune outcomes, particularly in terms of the number of cell types.…”

“…It has been shown that housing conditions and degree of emotionality interfere with the incidence of diabetes (16). In Swiss females sleep deprived for 24 h, we observed a significant decrease in the number of lymphocytes which remained at low counts during the 96 h of SD, corroborating the effect of SD on steroid hormones in the female reproductive system (13). NOD males are more emotional than NOD females and the less emotional NOD females become diabetic earlier, suggesting that emotionality via neuroendocrine alterations may be a mediating factor that modulates the expression of diabetes (17).…”

“…In women, food-intake changes across the menstrual cycle, in part because of changes in estrogen concentrations (37). The effect of sleep loss on the menstrual cycle and estrogen concentrations in humans is unknown; however, in rats, paradoxical (ie, rapid eye movement) sleep deprivation led to a disruption of the estrous cycle and lower estrogen concentrations (38). We did not systematically assess the menstrual cycle phase during the protocol, and women were allowed to use oral contraceptives.…”
