    <abstract>Many occupational studies have inferred central nervous system dysfunction as an outcome
of toluene exposure. The sleep–wakefulness cycle is a universal model of brain integrative
activity, which reflects multiple levels of the homeostatic processes. In this study, the
structure of the sleep–wakefulness cycle of the rat, the quantitative ratio of phases, their
electrographic characteristics and changes in the content of intraventricular glutamate,
aspartate and arginine were determined in the normal state, after 10 days inhalation of
toluene, 5 days after its withdrawal and after the action of chlorogenic acid, one of the most
abundant polyphenols in the human diet with antioxidant, anticarcinogenic and
neuroprotective properties. Using electroencephalography for the determination of
behavioural state we found that toluene inhalation disrupts the normal sleep cycle, increased
the total length of wakefulness, suppressed REM sleep, and reduced non-REM sleep. We
have furthermore shown that the content of intraventricular glutamate was increased in all
states of the sleep–wakefulness cycle while the concentration of aspartate was decreased.
Arginine was diminished during wakefulness and non-REM sleep and increased in REM
sleep. Intraperitoneal administration of chlorogenic acid resulted in rapid normalization both
of the duration of the sleep–wakefulness cycle and the amino acid contents. These findings
suggest that toluene engenders disturbance of excitatory amino acid and nitric oxide
metabolism, which is reflected in the dynamics of the sleep–wakefulness cycle and duration
of its phases.
