- Physiological parameters did not differ between groups. A) Acute sleep deprivation in rats: 6 h controls and 12 h controls were pooled for statistical analysis, as no significant difference was found between the two control groups; B) Chronic sleep deprivation in VLPO-lesioned rats. Control animals underwent a sham procedure with saline injection into their VLPO
- The arterial blood gas (mmHg) and pH values were measured at the beginning and end of each KCl stimulation period, and before electrical stimulation, for a total of 6 measurements per experiment. Data are presented as average ± SD. Arterial blood pressure (BP) values (mmHg) are the average of the KCl application and electrical stimulation recording periods
