Eve van Cauter
Eve Van Cauter is an American researcher on sleep, glucose regulation, and endocrinology. She is the Frederick H. Rawson Professor in the section of adult and pediatric endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism, and the director of the sleep, metabolism and health center at the University of Chicago.[1][2] Her research is primarily focused on the impact of sleep and circadian rhythms on glucose regulation and metabolism. She was one of the first people to discover that sleep deprivation effects the body.[3]
Van Cauter has published on significant findings related to the role of sleep in glucose tolerance and regulation, and the metabolic consequences of sleep loss.[4][5] Her work has shown a connection between sleep disturbances and insulin resistance[6][7] and an association between sleep and obesity in both children and adults.[8]
Van Cauter has explored the relationship between sleep and the somatotropic axis, examining how growth hormone and cortisol levels relate to sleep,[9] and how alterations of circadian rhythmicity and sleep in aging have endocrine consequences.[10]
Her work has involved the relationships between circadian rhythms, sleep, and endocrine function in conditions such as schizophrenia.[11]
