In reply to Studied AD effect of sleep Dep for 20 yrs., posted by Cruz on March 14, 2002, at 10:05:54
Thank you very much for your detailed info about sleep deprivation. Something you mentioned at the end I don't quite follow:
You said that sleep dep no longer works for you after you injured your testicles in the motorcycle accident (sorry to hear about that) and you said that "my Sertoli cells which produce the hormonal protein Inhibin were damaged in the motorcycle accident and now do not produce significant amount of Inhibin." Then you said that "I am convinced that the reason for the AD effect of sleep deprivation is the result of an elevation of Inhibin."
What does the Inhibin (produced by the Sertoli cells) do for sleep cycles that apparently is not going on anymore for you?
Also, at one point you said that your SC's don't produce a significant amount of Inhibin then in another sentence you said that you have elevated inhibin - which is it?
Thanks, Janelle
