| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recently, insomnia is known to be associated with the new onset of hypertension, diabetes mellitus and ischemic heart disease. I thought melatonin, that has hypnotic action and protective effect of vascular endothelial cells, may be related to the mechanisms underlying the association between insomnia and ischemic heart disease. The purpose of this study was (1) to investigate the association between insomnia, endothelial function and melatonin concentration in patients with ischemic heart disease under medication and (2) to investigate the relation between insomnia and cardiac function in subjects without heart diseases. In (1), there was no significant correlation between vascular endothelial function and insomnia. In (2), short sleep time was not significantly correlated with cardiac function, however, it was significantly correlated with high blood pressure and high heart rate increase.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
総務省による社会生活基本調査では、日本人の睡眠時間は徐々に短くなっている。睡眠時間が身体に引き起こす影響を調べることは重要な課題である。本研究で得られた研究成果は、短い睡眠時間と心拍数上昇との間に関連があることを示した。短い睡眠時間を是正することで、健康増進効果が得られるか検討する今後の研究につながると思われる。
