    The link between sleep and "love handles"(俚语，腰部赘肉), double chins and expanding paunch(大肚子 )centers on a hormone【B3】______ produced during deep sleep, the scientists from the University of Chicago reported in the August 16 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association.

【B2】
选项
答案accompanies
解析 此空需要动词(词组)作that从句的谓语。accompany“伴随”。由于主语是单数形式的that(指代前面的the weight gain)，谓语动词要用第三人称单数，故accompany需将词尾y改成i，再加-es。
