A general method is presented for the identification of radiometabolites in plasma of human and monkey subjects after administration of positron emission tomography (PET) radioligands. The radiometabolites are first produced in vitro, using liver microsomes, subsequently separated using fast radio-liquid

The biology underlying excessive daytime sleepiness (hypersomnolence) is incompletely understood. After excluding known causes of sleepiness in 32 hypersomnolent patients, we showed that, in the presence of 10 μM γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from these subjects stimulated GABA(A)
