Humoral regulation of physiological sleep: cytokines and GHRH

Krueger, Obál, Jr, Fang·1999·Journal of Sleep Research

Abstract

Interleukin‐1, tumour necrosis factor, and growth hormone releasing hormone form part of the humoral mechanisms regulating physiological sleep. Their injection enhances non‐rapid‐eye‐movement sleep whereas their inhibition reduces spontaneous sleep and sleep rebound after sleep deprivation. Changes in their mRNA levels and changes in their protein levels in the brain are consistent within their proposed role in sleep regulation. Furthermore, results from transgenic and mutant animals also are suggestive of their role in sleep regulation. The sites responsible for the growth hormone releasing hormone somnogenic activity seem to reside in the anterior hypothalamus/basal forebrain. Somnogenic sites for interleukin‐1 and tumour necrosis factor likely include the anterior hypothalamus, but also may extend beyond that area. These substances elicit non‐rapid‐eye‐movement sleep via a biochemical cascade that includes other known sleep regulatory substances.

  • PAMP/DAMP activation of PRRs likely leads to systemic increases of sleep regulatory substances, such as TNF and IL-1.

    “They can activate the immune system through binding to respective PRRs, which likely leads to systemic increases of sleep regulatory substances, such as TNF and IL-1 (303, 305).”

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.
