Background : Recently, the particular interest is on ghrelin, the dietary control factor among many scientists and it a toxic diurnal variations has been demonstrated before and after meal. However, the experimental approach has been only to see the changes in the concentration of ghrelin after intake of meals standardized with fixed calories at scheduled meal hours. the authors of this particular experiment have tried to observe and record the changes in concentrations of plasma ghrelin of persons with different breakfast hours. This might help in providing a basis for further possible studies in outpatient setting.
Method : A group of four relatively healthy males whose ages between 23.4 and 35.5 with prior agreements were selected for this study. After body measurements, body lipid status was measured based on Lunar prodigy (GE medical systems, Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA) which is also referred to as DEXA. All of the selected persons had somewhat fixed breakfast time; however, they were asked to strictly keep their breakfast time fixed and steady starting two weeks before the beginning of experiment. The bloods of those who skip their breakfast without any particular stress were sampled at 6:30 AM, whereas the rest had different schedule, whose bloods were sampled every hour starting 1 hour before the first meal of the day till just before lunch (11:30 Am). From each blood sample, the level of plasma ghrelin was measured using the commercial radioimmune assay (Phoenix Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Belmont, CA). Leptin was measured with double antibody radioimmune assay using Ⅰ-125 labelled leptin, plasma insulin with radioimmune assay using antibody attachment tube, and blood sugar with Synchron LX20 (Beckman Coulter, Inc, Fullerton, USA) using glucosylation enzyme method.
Result : The body mass index of the volunteers was 22.9 ~ 27.1 kg/㎡, with 80.3 ~ 93.3 cm waist circumference. Based on measurements by DEXA, the rates of total body lipid and trunk lipid were each 27.1 ~ 31.8% and 32.7 ~ 32.4%, respectively. The concentrations of plasma ghrelin of those who consume their breakfast before and 2 hour after their breakfast are 113.0 ~ 800.0 pg/mL and 78.3 ~ 553.0 pg/mL. The concentrations of leptin are 4.9 ~ 5.1 ng/mL and 4.4 ~ 4.7 ng/mL. Compared to the concentration of plasma ghrelin and of leptin recorded just before breakfast, it showed 7.2 ~ 30.9% and 7.8 ~ 10.2% decrease, respectively, 2 hours after breakfast. For those who skip their breakfast, the plasma concentration of ghrelin was recorded the lowest at 7:30 AM, even though there was no change in insulin and blood sugar. The rest of the subjects had their lowest plasma ghrelin concentration at 2 hours after breakfast, despite their different meal schedule.
Conclusion : The persons with different breakfast hours had their lowest plasma concentration of ghrelin at 2 hours after breakfast. In contrast, the persons who skip their breakfast had their lowest concentration at 7: 30 AM.
