Effects of Sleep Deprivation on Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Amyloid-beta (Aβ) Dynamics (AWAKE)
Losing Sleep Over Alzheimer's Disease? Effects of Sleep Deprivation on Cerebrospinal Fluid Amyloid-beta Dynamics
Introduction: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by neurodegeneration of the brain in the form of neurofibrillary tangles and plaques containing the amyloid-beta protein (Abeta). Recent animal studies have shown that extended wakefulness is associated with increased production of these Abeta proteins and that sleep leads to a marked fall in their production.
Aim: The investigators aim to distinguish a similar effect of sleep disturbance on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Abeta levels in humans, which may point out sleep disturbance as an important factor in AD development.
Methods: a study in 26 healthy male volunteers, measuring CSF Abeta levels during a sleep deprivation night and before and after a control night with unrestricted sleep.
Expected results: The investigators expect sleep deprivation to lead to an increase in CSF Abeta levels, as compared to the levels in the control night.

Amyloid beta
時間枠：6 timepoints during one night of sleep deprivation

Subjects will undergo one night of sleep deprivation before, during and after which a total of 9 CSF samples (6ml each) will be drawn through a spinal catheter.
From these CSF samples Amyloid beta will be analysed.
