Weight Gain and Muscle Loss Linkage with Epigenetics Sleep Loss
Studies by researchers at Uppsala University indicate that only 1 night of sleep loss will trigger tissue-specific epigenetic , gene expression, and metabolic changes that are related to the loss of lean muscle mass and a rise in fat. The analysis, involving human volunteers who were allowed either a decent night sleep or who were unbroken awake all night, hints at molecular mechanisms and disruption to the time unit clock that will underpin the antecedently known link between chronic sleep loss, weight gain, metabolic syndrome, and type two diabetes. Jonathan Cedernaes, Ph.D., who is an investigator at Uppsala University, department of neuroscience said that our analysis group was the primary to demonstrate that acute sleep loss in and of it ends up in epigenetic changes within the so-called clock genes that inside every tissue regulate its circadian rhythm. “Our new findings indicate that sleep loss causes tissue-specific changes to the degree of deoxyribonucleic acid methylation
