[Effect of various monoamine oxidase inhibitors on the structure of the sleep-wakefulness cycle of the cat]. 1987

T N Oniani, and G R Akhvlediani

The effect of some monoamine oxidase inhibitors (phenelzine, transamine, nialamide) on the structure of the cat sleep--wakefulness cycle involved an increase of slow-wave sleep at the expense of totally inhibited REM sleep and substantial reduction of wakefulness. Following this effect, selective rebound of wakefulness occurred against the background of total or partial absence of REM sleep. The partial deprivation of wakefulness induced with monoamine oxidase inhibitors seem to entail an accumulation of a specific need in the given physiological state, the gratification of which is effected through its rebound in the post-deprivation cycle.

D009526	Nialamide	An MAO inhibitor that is used as an antidepressive agent.
D010624	Phenelzine	One of the MONOAMINE OXIDASE INHIBITORS used to treat DEPRESSION; PHOBIC DISORDERS; and PANIC.	Fenelzin,2-Phenethylhydrazine,Nardelzine,Nardil,Phenelzine Sulfate,Phenethylhydrazine,beta-Phenylethylhydrazine,2 Phenethylhydrazine,Sulfate, Phenelzine,beta Phenylethylhydrazine
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.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012892	Sleep Deprivation	The state of being deprived of sleep under experimental conditions, due to life events, or from a wide variety of pathophysiologic causes such as medication effect, chronic illness, psychiatric illness, or sleep disorder.

D012894	Sleep Stages	Periods of sleep manifested by changes in EEG activity and certain behavioral correlates; they formerly included Stage 1: sleep onset, drowsy sleep; Stage 2: light sleep; Stages 3 and 4: delta sleep, light sleep, deep sleep, telencephalic sleep. In 2007, sleep stages were redefined by The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) as: N1-N2 (sleep onset - light sleep), N3 (SLOW-WAVE SLEEP), and REM SLEEP.

D014191	Tranylcypromine	A propylamine formed from the cyclization of the side chain of amphetamine. This monoamine oxidase inhibitor is effective in the treatment of major depression, dysthymic disorder, and atypical depression. It also is useful in panic and phobic disorders.
