Activity of adenosine deaminase in the sleep regulatory areas of the rat CNSM MacKiewicz
Division of Sleep and Chronobiology, Department of Psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia, USA
Brain Res Mol Brain Res 80:252-5. 2000..We postulate that adenosine deaminase plays an important role in the mechanism that controls regional concentration of adenosine in the brain and thus, it is a part of the sleep-wake regulatory mechanism...
Analysis of the QTL for sleep homeostasis in mice: Homer1a is a likely candidateM MacKiewicz

Physiol Genomics 33:91-9. 2008..The strongest candidate gene is Homer1a, which is supported by expression differences between sleep and wakefulness and the SNP polymorphism in the upstream regulatory regions...
Macromolecule biosynthesis: a key function of sleepMiroslaw Mackiewicz
Center for Sleep and Respiratory Neurobiology, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104 3403, USA
Physiol Genomics 31:441-57. 2007..We postulate that during sleep there is a rebuilding of multiple key cellular components in preparation for subsequent wakefulness...
Age-related changes in adenosine metabolic enzymes in sleep/wake regulatory areas of the brainMiroslaw Mackiewicz
Center for Sleep and Respiratory Neurobiology, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, 991 Maloney Building, 3600 Spruce Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104 4283, USA

Enzymes of adenosine metabolism in the brain: diurnal rhythm and the effect of sleep deprivationMiroslaw Mackiewicz
Center for Sleep and Respiratory Neurobiology, Division of Sleep Medicine, Department of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104, USA
J Neurochem 85:348-57. 2003..In contrast, we found no changes specifically with sleep deprivation in the activity of any enzyme in any brain region. Thus, changes in adenosine with sleep deprivation are not a consequence of alterations in adenosine enzyme activity...
Simultaneous assessment of ecto- and cytosolic-5'-nucleotidase activities in brain micropunchesM MacKiewicz
Center for Sleep and Respiratory Neurobiology, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, 3600 Spruce Street, 991 Maloney Building, Philadelphia, PA 19104 4283, USA
J Neurosci Methods 104:9-18. 2000..The level of both enzymes was significantly lower in the cerebral cortex than other brain regions tested...
Glycogen in the brain of Drosophila melanogaster: diurnal rhythm and the effect of rest deprivationJohn E Zimmerman
Center for Sleep and Respiratory Neurobiology, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104 4283, USA
J Neurochem 88:32-40. 2004..0001 and p<0.0001, respectively). Glycogen in the fly brain changes in relationship to rest and activity and demonstrates a biphasic response to rest deprivation similar to that observed in mammalian astrocytes in culture...
Multiple mechanisms limit the duration of wakefulness in Drosophila brainJohn E Zimmerman

Ann N Y Acad Sci 1129:335-49. 2008..Identification of genes regulating sleep has the potential for translational studies to elucidate the genetics of sleep and response to sleep deprivation in humans...
Alpha(1B) receptors are the main postsynaptic mediators of adrenergic excitation in brainstem motoneurons, a single-cell RT-PCR studyD V Volgin
Department of Animal Biology 205ED/VET, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, 3800 Spruce Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104-6046, USA
J Chem Neuroanat 22:157-66. 2001..We conclude that postsynaptic effects of NE in XII motoneurons are primarily mediated by alpha(1B) receptors; the effects ascribed to alpha(2) and/or beta adrenoceptors may be exerted presynaptically...
Molecular signatures of obstructive sleep apnea in adults: a review and perspectiveErna S Arnardottir
Center for Sleep and Respiratory Neurobiology, Division of Sleep Medicine Department of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia, PA, USA
Sleep 32:447-70. 2009..Such changes will be at least partly a consequence of chronic intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation that occurs during sleep...
