The uptake of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) by glial cells was decreased when 4,5,6,7,-tetrahydroisoxazolo-(4,5-C)-pyridin-3-ol (THPO) was applied in the thalamus of freely moving cats by in vivo microdialysis. A marked reduction in duration of wakefulness and in number of awakenings was obtained during THPO treatment. THPO did not change the ratio of slow-wave-sleep and paradoxical sleep but only increased the total sleep time. The present data suggest a possible regulatory role of the glial-neuronal interaction in the modification of the sleep-waking cycle.

D009457 Neuroglia The non-neuronal cells of the nervous system. They not only provide physical support, but also respond to injury, regulate the ionic and chemical composition of the extracellular milieu, participate in the BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER and BLOOD-RETINAL BARRIER, form the myelin insulation of nervous pathways, guide neuronal migration during development, and exchange metabolites with neurons. Neuroglia have high-affinity transmitter uptake systems, voltage-dependent and transmitter-gated ion channels, and can release transmitters, but their role in signaling (as in many other functions) is unclear.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
