Melatonin secretion rhythm disorders in patients with senile dementia of Alzheimer’s type with disturbed sleep–waking
TL;DR: Daily variation of the pineal hormone melatonin, which has been reported to possess hypnogenic and synchronizing effects, in patients with senile dementia of Alzheimer's type is investigated in SDAT patients with disturbed sleep-waking.
Journal ArticleDOI

Yuriko Ogawa,Takashi Kanbayashi,Yasushi Saito,Yuji Takahashi,Tsuyoshi Kitajima,Ken-ichi Takahashi,Yasuo Hishikawa,Tetsuo Shimizu +7 more
TL;DR: The results show that resetting of the ABR toward a higher blood pressure level occurred after total sleep deprivation, and this ABR resetting probably brings about an increase in arterial blood pressure after totalSleep deprivation.
