Abstract
We have demonstrated that large-dose IV melatonin can exert hypnotic effects similar to those caused by thiopental and propofol. In this study, we compared the electroencephalographic (EEG) effects of melatonin with those of thiopental and propofol. Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to receive equipKeywords
