Sleep is essential for long term memory function. However, the neuroanatomical consequences of sleep loss are disputed. Sleep deprivation has been reported to cause both decreases and increases of dendritic spine density. Here we use Thy1-GFP expressing transgenic mice to investigate the effects of acute sleep deprivation on the dendritic architecture of hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons. We found that 5 h of sleep deprivation had no effect on either dendritic length or dendritic spine density. Our work suggests that no major neuroanatomical changes result from a single episode of sleep deprivation.

Purpose: Sleep deprivation and elevated blood pressure (BP) increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. However, the effects of sleep deprivation on BP response, especially at exercise onset remain unclear. We aimed to elucidate the effects of experimental sleep deprivation (ESD) on resting and exercise BPs, including that at exercise onset, and investigate whether a night-time nap during ESD changes the ESD-altered BP.

Angelica gigas Nakai (AGN) root is a medicinal herbal widely used in traditional medicine in Korea. AGN root ethanolic extracts have been marketed as dietary supplements in the United States for memory health and pain management. We have recently reviewed the pharmacokinetics (PK) and first-pass hepatic metabolism of ingested AGN supplements in humans for the signature pyranocoumarins decursin (D, C 1x), decursinol angelate (DA, C ~ 10x) and their common botanical precursor and hepatic metabolite decursinol (DOH, C ~ 1000x).

Maximal gross-muscular performance shows a daily variation in adult males, however, effects of sleep loss on circadian rhythms of gross-muscular tasks with a high skill element such as the standing broad jump is less well established, and differences between biological sex may exist. Thirty-one males and 24 females volunteered. Participants were familiarised with tests before completing two conditions i) Normal (N) retires at 23:30, rising at 07:30 h the night before testing, and ii) Sleep deprivation (SD) retiring at 03:00, rising at 07:30 h, administered in a randomised counterbalanced-fashion.

(1) Background: Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an amino acid and the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. GABA has been shown to reduce stress and promote sleep. GABALAGEN (GBL) is the product of fermented fish collagen by Lactobacillus brevis BJ20 and Lactobacillus plantarum BJ21, naturally enriched with GABA through the fermentation process and characterized by low molecular weight.
