Increased plasma level of tumor necrosis factor α in patients with narcolepsy in Taiwan.

Sleep medicine - 1 Dec 2013

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Narcolepsy is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, cataplexy, hypnagogic hallucinations, and abnormal rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Tumor necrosis factor α (TNF α) and its cognate receptors have been reported to be involved in the pathophysiology of narcolepsy in addition to the HLA antigen system. Our study aimed to determine if the TNF-α system was associated...
