Influence of endotoxin on nocturnal sleep in humans
Abstract
Sleepiness is a common complaint during infectious diseases, but the interaction between sleep and host defense mechanisms has been poorly explored in humans. We therefore studied the effect of endotoxin, a major pathophysiological factor in gram-negative bacterial infections, on sleep and on parameters of the primary host response in men. In a single-blind counterbalanced trial, 15 healthy volunteers received either placebo or Salmonella abortus equi endotoxin (0.4 ng/kg body wt) intravenously on two separate occasions. Nocturnal sleep was recorded, and rectal temperature and the plasma levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-6, adrenocorticotropic hormone, and cortisol were monitored for 12 h. Endotoxin reduced the relative amounts of wakefulness (P < 0.05) and rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep (P < 0.05) and increased the relative amount of non-REM sleep (P < 0.01). Electroencephalogram delta power during non-REM sleep, as measured by spectral analysis, was not altered by endotoxin. The endotoxin-induced changes in sleep structure were related temporally and quantitatively to the increases in rectal temperature and to the release of cytokines and neurohormones. It is concluded that cytokines and neurohormones mediate the effects of endotoxin upon sleep. The ensuing increase in non-REM sleep may be part of the adaptive host response to bacterial infections in humans.

“in humans, NREM sleep enhancing or intensifying effects are restricted to times of very mild host response activation, whereas stronger responses characterized by large cytokine increases and fever caused sleep disruption (224, 396, 442).”

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.
