The Somatostatin Analogue Octreotide Impairs Sleep and Decreases EEG Sigma Power in Young Male Subjects
The long-acting somatostatin (SRIF) analogue octreotide decreased nonrapid eye movement sleep (NREMS) in the rat. This effect is opposite to the promotion of sleep after growth hormone (GH)-releasing hormone (...

Bretazenil modulates sleep EEG and nocturnal hormone secretion in normal men
Preclinical data suggest that the imidazo-diazepinone derivative bretazenil (Ro 16-6028) has anxiolytic and anticonvulsant properties with only weak sedative effects. We examined the influence of oral administ...
