Decreased Delta-Sleep and Plasma Delta-Sleep-Inducing Peptide in Patients with Cushing Syndrome
Description
To evaluate the sleep disturbances of patients with Cushing syndrome and to examine the relationship between the sleep disturbances and plasma levels of delta-sleep-inducing peptide-like immunoreactivity (DSIP-LI), we performed three polysomnographic/endocrinological studies in patients with Cushing syndrome. In study 1, polysomnography was studied in 12 patients and 12 matched normal volunteers. In addition, DSIP-LI was measured every 30 min for 24 h in 9 patients with Cushing syndrome and 12 normal volunteers. The percentage of time spent in delta sleep (stages 3 and 4) was significantly reduced in patients with Cushing syndrome (5.8 ± 1.4%; mean ± SEM) compared to normal volunteers (14.0 ± 2.5%) (p
