Abstract:
:In the past few years a steadily increasing number of substances have been suggested to qualify as sleep-inducing factors. Most 'sleep factors' appear to exert their effects on slow-wave sleep. Recently, however, it has been shown that the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of sleep-deprived cats may contain a rapid eye movement (REM) sleep factor, and that vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) may be a specific REM sleep inducer. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the CSF of sleep-deprived cats and VIP can reverse insomnia produced by parachlorophenylalanine (PCPA). Donor cats were sleep-deprived for 24 h and their CSF extracted. Some donor cats were additionally pre-treated with chloramphenicol, and some extracted CSF was heated. Recipient cats were injected with 400 mg/kg i.p. of PCPA on two consecutive days. Twenty-four h after the second injection, the recipient cats were intraventricularly injected with a 100-microliters of the various CSF types or 200 ng of VIP. The results showed that only CSF from sleep-deprived cats and VIP were capable of restoring REM sleep in the otherwise PCPA insomniac cats. Since the return of REM sleep was through an increase in its frequency, it is suggested that the CSF of sleep-deprived cats contains a VIP-like sleep factor possibly involved in triggering REM sleep.
