Disturbed function of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis at adrenal and thyroid levels was found during an episode of hypersomnia in the idiopathic recurring hypersomnia syndrome. These endocrinological abnormalities, abolished ACTH and cortisol responses to insulin-induced hypoglycemia and absent TSH response to TRH, normalised thereafter in the symptom-free interval. These data support the hypothesis that Kleine-Levin syndrome is related to an intermittent hypothalamic dysfunction.
在特发性复发性嗜睡症综合征的一次嗜睡发作期间,发现下丘脑 - 垂体轴在肾上腺和甲状腺水平的功能紊乱。这些内分泌异常表现为促肾上腺皮质激素(ACTH)和皮质醇对胰岛素诱导的低血糖反应消失,促甲状腺激素(TSH)对促甲状腺激素释放激素(TRH)反应缺失,而在无症状期这些异常恢复正常。这些数据支持克莱因 - 莱文综合征与间歇性下丘脑功能障碍有关的假说。
