Lumbar cerebrospinal fluid was obtained, 3 to 6 months after surgery, from 17 patients who experienced good outcomes after aneurysmal SAH.
The samples were analyzed for various neuropeptides using radioimmunoassays, and the peptide concentrations were evaluated in relation to scores on standardized neuropsychological tests.
This result measures the body's own Delta sleep-inducing peptide (DSIP). Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
