IL-6 SECRETION AND QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF SLEEP: AGE AND GENDER EFFECTS

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是 中心，不一定是研究者的机构。 有人认为，一些睡眠障碍患者可能会增加一种特定的蛋白质细胞因子IL-6的量。 在这项研究中，研究人员感兴趣的是评估IL-6和几种应激相关激素（如皮质醇、ACTH和儿茶酚胺）24小时水平的变化。这项研究将包括正常志愿者和被诊断患有睡眠障碍的患者。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. It has been suggested that some patients with sleep disorders may have an increase in the amount of a particular protein cytokine IL-6. In this study, the investigators are interested in assessing the changes in 24 hour levels of IL-6 and several stress related hormones such as cortisol, ACTH and catecholamines. The study will include both normal volunteers and patients diagnosed with a sleep disorder.
