ues-
tion:
Dear
Bar
st time
I asked about
hormones and
- weight loss/
gain and you
discussed, among other things, the
impact of the hormones ghrelin
and insulin. Is there more on the
subject? Thanks, Stephen.

A

nswer (Part 2 of 2): Dear
Stephen, you may recall
that last time I mentioned
that lack of sleep may be con-
nected to the diminished produc-
tion of hormones that suppress
hunger. Within the past few days, a
significant British study has linked
lack of sleep among children to
childhood obesity.
,
---( r One of the hormones be-
lieved to play an important
role in hunger suppression
is leptin, the production of
which (along with insu-
lin), is believed dimin-
\ ished by lack of sleep.
) Serum leptin levels are
i also believed to be mark-
/ ers of individual energy
levels. I think it's fair to
I say you can expect further
significant research in this
interesting and evolving area.

Other hormones that play a role in
weight loss/gain are g-lucagon and
cortisol. Glucagon allows the body
to breakdown fat when insulin
levels are not high. Elevated levels
of cortisol, the so-called "stress
hormone," are linked to increased
abdominal fat and correspond-
ing, serious health issues. I hope,
at least in part, this helps answer
your timely, pertinent question.
