摘要
Summary: The effects of adrenoceptor agonists and antagonists have been determined on "sleeping time" in the rat-that is, with the animal immobile and adopting a sleeping posture. Alterations in their gross behaviour patterns were assessed also. The specific α2-adrenoceptor agonists (yohimbine, WY 26393, RX 781094 and RS 21361) decreased sleeping time, as did the β-adrenoceptor agonist clenbuterol. The specific α2-adrenoceptor agonist clonidine gave a large increase in sleeping time at doses in excess of 25 ug kg-1. The same effect was seen with the β-antagonist propranolol and the specific B2-antagonist ICI 118551. © 1990 Copyright: 1990 British Journal of Anaesthesia.
