Metabolic adaptation
Four nights of sleep restriction reduced low-dose insulin glucose infusion rate (GIR) by 20% and high-dose insulin GIR by 12% in postmenopausal women.
Practitioners should consider the impact of sleep restriction on insulin sensitivity in postmenopausal women.

SR reduced low-dose insulin GIR by 20% (HS: 2.55 ± 0.22 vs. SR: 2.03 ± 0.20 mg/kg/min; p = 0.01) and high-dose insulin GIR by 12% (HS: 10.48 ± 0.72 vs. SR: 9.19 ± 0.72 mg/kg/min; p < 0.001).
Why this rating
