Strain Differences in Sleep Patterns of Healthy and Influenza-Infected Inbred Mice
Abstract
Influenza-infected C57BL/6J and BALB/cByJ mice respectively develop increased slow-wave sleep (SWS) during the dark phase and reduced SWS during the light phase of the 24 hour circadian cycle. To determine whether similar or alternative variations in SWS develop after influenza infection in other inbred strains of mice, we characterized the sleep patterns of additional strains both before and after influenza infection. Three strains (A/J, BALB/cByJ, and C3H/HeJ) showed light-phase SWS suppression, two strains (C57BL/6J and DBA/2J) showed dark-phase SWS enhancement, and one strain (A/J) showed dark-phase SWS suppression. Three strains (AKR/J, C57BR/cdJ, and FVB/NJ) did not show significant changes in SWS time on day two post-inoculation. Core temperatures were correlated to change in SWS time after infection, but were not correlated to SWS during the baseline period. These data support and expand the existing literature that indicates genetic modulation of sleep both in healthy mice and in mice undergoing viral infection.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
