Arginine vasotocin (AVT), in doses of 1.5 microgram, administered intranasally to two narcoleptics (a male aged 42 years and a female aged 35 years), as well as to 5 symptomatic hypersomniacs (3 females and 2 males), aged 25-57 years, induced very rapidly in most instances in sleep with REM periods at onset and markedly increased in amount of REM sleep during a fixed period of 180 min of sleep recording. After AVT administration there was a significant shortening of the time of occurrence of the first REM sleep period both in narcoleptics (t test = 0.05 greater than P greater than 0.025) and in symptomatic hypersomniacs (t test = 0.02 greater than P greater than 0.01).
向两名发作性睡病患者(一名42岁男性和一名35岁女性)以及5名症状性睡眠过多患者(3名女性和2名男性,年龄在25至57岁之间)经鼻内给予剂量为1.5微克的精氨酸血管加压素(AVT),在大多数情况下,给药后能非常迅速地诱导入睡并伴有快速眼动期,且在180分钟的固定睡眠记录期内快速眼动睡眠量显著增加。给予AVT后,发作性睡病患者(t检验=0.05,P大于0.025)和症状性睡眠过多患者(t检验=0.02,P大于0.01)首次快速眼动睡眠期出现的时间均显著缩短。
