Pregabalin enhances nonrapid eye movement sleep.
Pregabalin, an analog of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) that does not interact with GABA receptors, is in development as an analgesic, an anticonvulsant, and an anxiolytic. We evaluated the potential somnogenic actions of pregabalin in rats and compared it to those of triazolam, a widely used hypnotic. Pregabalin increased the duration of nonrapid eye movement sleep (NREMS) and decreased rapid ...
متن کاملRAPID EYE MOVEMENT SLEEP DEPRIVATION INDUCES ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE A CTIVITY IN THE PREOPTIC AREA OF THE RAT BRAIN
Acetylcholinesterase (AchE) is a large glycoprotein that, aside from its known cholinolytic activity, co-exists with other transmitter systems and possesses other functions. In the present study, the effects of short-term rapid-eye-movement sleep deprivation (REM-SD) on AchE activity in the anterior hypothalamic area have been investigated. Using the flower-pot method, adult male albino ra...
متن کاملRapid Eye Movement Sleep
• Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep was first identified by its most obvious feature: rapid eye movements occurring during sleep. In most adult mammals the electroencephalogram (EEG) of the neocortex is low in voltage during REM sleep. The hippocampus exhibits regular high-voltage theta waves throughout REM sleep. • The key brain structure for generating REM sleep is the brainstem, particularly th...
متن کاملInhibition of caspase-1 in rat brain reduces spontaneous nonrapid eye movement sleep and nonrapid eye movement sleep enhancement induced by lipopolysaccharide.
Evidence suggests that IL-1beta is involved in promoting physiological nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. IL-1beta has also been proposed to mediate NREM sleep enhancement induced by bacteria or their components. Mature and biologically active IL-1beta is cleaved from an inactive precursor by a cysteinyl aspartate-specific protease (caspase)-1. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that inhi...
متن کاملRapid eye movement sleep and general anesthesia.
To the Editor: I read with great interest the article by Leslie et al. describing the electroencephalographic correlates of dreaming during anesthesia. Their conclusion that traits of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep are expressed during emergence from anesthesia is provocative. It is of historical interest to note that a common mechanism of dreaming during both sleep and anesthesia was predicted...
