GAMMA HYDROXYBUTYRATE AND GAMMA BUTYROLACTONE: CONCENTRATION IN RAT TISSUES DURING ANESTHESIA.

S P BESSMAN, S J SKOLNIK.   

Abstract

Gamma-hydroxybutyric acid, when administered to animals or human beings, causes sleep. It is convertible to gamma-butyrolactone, which also produces sleep. Tissue concentrations in rats after administration of these two compounds show that the induced sleep is related to the concentration of the lactone in the brain.
