A ligroin extract of nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) caused a significant increase in the duration of light and deep sleep in the young chicken. The presence of trimyristin tended to increase the effect of the extract. The extract did not contain detectable amounts of myristicin, elemicin, safrole, or eugenol, which either individually or collectively have been suggested to be the active agent of nutmeg.
肉豆蔻（Myristica fragrans）的石油醚提取物使幼鸡的浅睡眠和深睡眠时长显著增加。肉豆蔻酸甘油酯的存在往往会增强提取物的效果。该提取物未检测出肉豆蔻醚、榄香素、黄樟素或丁香酚，而这些成分曾被单独或共同认为是肉豆蔻的活性剂。
