Brief summary
Rationale. Sleep loss is a risk factor for cardiovascular events mediated through endothelial dysfunction. Objective. To determine if 7 weeks of exercise training can limit cardiovascular dysfunction induced by total sleep deprivation (TSD) in healthy young men. Methods: 16 subjects will be examined during 40-h TSD, both before and after 7 weeks of interval exercise training. Vasodilatation induced by ACh, insulin and heat (42°C) as well as pulse wave velocity (PWV), blood pressure and heart rate (HR) will be assessed at baseline, during TSD, and after one night of sleep recovery. Biomarkers of endothelial activation, inflammation, and hormones will bemeasured from morning blood samples at 07:00

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ACh induced Vasodilation during TSD | Up to 09:00 during sleep deprivation (i.e. after 26 hours of wakefulness) | Cutaneous vasodilation (in % Baseline) induced by local application of Acethylcholine |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Insuline Vasodilation | Up to 09:00 during the sleep deprivation day and the recovery day | Cutaneous vasodilation (in % Baseline) induced by local application of insulin |
| Heat vasodilation | Up to 9:00 during the sleep deprivation day and during the recovery day | Cutaneous vasodilation (in % Baseline) induced by local application of heat (42°C) |
| Inflammation | Up to 7:00 during the sleep deprivation day and during the recovery day. | Plasma levels of inflammatory marquers (TNF-alpha, IL1beta...) |
| blood pressure | Every 3 hours during the 40 hours of wakefullness (i.e. total sleep deprivation) | Mean, systolic and diastolic blood pressure |
| PWV | Up to 09:00 during the sleep deprivation day | Pulse wave velovity evaluated by echography |
