5-hydroxytryptophan and Chronic Insomnia

5-hydroxytryptophan has been researched along with Chronic Insomnia in 17 studies

5-Hydroxytryptophan: The immediate precursor in the biosynthesis of SEROTONIN from tryptophan. It is used as an antiepileptic and antidepressant.
5-hydroxytryptophan : A tryptophan derivative that is tryptophan substituted by a hydroxy group at position 5.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In the PCPA-pretreated insomniac rats, PGD2 infusion resulted in an immediate increase in slow-wave sleep (SWS) and an increase with a 2-h latency in paradoxical sleep (PS)."1.29Promotion of sleep by prostaglandin D2 in rats made insomniac by pretreatment with para-chlorophenylalanine. ( Hayaishi, O; Jouvet, M; Matsumura, H; Nakajima, T; Onoe, H; Sakai, K; Satoh, S, 1994)
"We studied the reversibility of this insomnia in physiological slow-wave sleep (SWS) and paradoxical sleep (PS) after 5-hydroxytryptophan (5HTP) and serotonin (5HT) administration."1.27[Insomnia caused by administration of para-chlorophenylalanine: reversibility by peripheral or central injection of 5-hydroxytryptophan and serotonin]. ( Buda, C; Janin, M; Jouvet, M; Petitjean, F; Sallanon, M, 1985)
"latencies, in insomniac Cats pretreated with P-chlorophenylalanine."1.26[Insomnia induced by P-chlorophenylalanine in cats. Its reversibility by intraventricular injections of indolamines]. ( Buda, C; Janin, M; Jouvet, M; Petitjean, F; Sallanon, M, 1980)
