The aim of the present study was to investigate whether there is a difference in evening/nocturnal interleukin-6 (IL-6) serum excretion in patients with primary insomnia compared to controls. We hypothesized that in insomniac patients, the excretion of evening/ nocturnal IL-6 is enhanced, like observed in aged adults and after sleep deprivation in healthy subjects. We studied IL-6 serum concentrations in I I patients (two males and nine females) with primary insomnia and I I age and gender-matched healthy controls. Sleep was monitored polysomnographically for three consecutive nights. The measurement of IL-6 (from 19:00 h to 09:00 h) in 2-h intervals were performed prior to and during the last laboratory night. Polysomnographically determined sleep parameters and subjective ratings of sleep demonstrated clear-cut impairments of sleep in the insomniac group. Nocturnal IL-6 secretion was significantly increased (p
