New developments in the management of narcolepsy.

Nature and science of sleep

Abad VC, Guilleminault C.
PMID: 28424564
Nat Sci Sleep. 2017 Mar 03;9:39-57. doi: 10.2147/NSS.S103467. eCollection 2017.

Narcolepsy is a life-long, underrecognized sleep disorder that affects 0.02%-0.18% of the US and Western European populations. Genetic predisposition is suspected because of narcolepsy's strong association with HLA DQB1*06-02, and genome-wide association studies have identified polymorphisms in T-cell receptor...

Diagnosis and management of central hypersomnias.

Therapeutic advances in neurological disorders

Sonka K, Susta M.
PMID: 22973425
Ther Adv Neurol Disord. 2012 Sep;5(5):297-305. doi: 10.1177/1756285612454692.

Central hypersomnias are diseases manifested in excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) not caused by disturbed nocturnal sleep or misaligned circadian rhythms. Central hypersomnias includes narcolepsy with and without cataplexy, recurrent hypersomnia, idiopathic hypersomnia, with and without long sleep time, behaviorally...

Monocarboxylate Transporter Inhibition with Osmotic Diuresis Increases γ-Hydroxybutyrate Renal Elimination in Humans: A Proof-of-Concept Study.

Morris ME, Morse BL, Baciewicz GJ, Tessena MM, Acquisto NM, Hutchinson DJ, Dicenzo R.
PMID: 24772380
J Clin Toxicol. 2011 Nov 10;1(2):1000105. doi: 10.4172/2161-0495.1000105.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the current study was to demonstrate proof-of-concept that monocarboxylate transporter (MCT) inhibition with L-lactate combined with osmotic diuresis increases renal clearance of γ-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) in human subjects. GHB is a substrate for human...

Parkinson's Disease, the Dopaminergic Neuron and Gammahydroxybutyrate.

Neurology and therapy

Neurol Ther. 2018 Jun;7(1):5-11. doi: 10.1007/s40120-018-0091-2. Epub 2018 Jan 24.

The high energy demands of the substantia nigra pars compacta dopaminergic (DASNc) neurons render these neurons vulnerable to degeneration. These energy demands are a function of their long and extensively arborized axons and very large number of transmitter release...
