PQQ has garnered interest for its neuroprotective effects. Research indicates that it may promote neuronal health by stimulating the growth of new nerve cells and supporting synaptic plasticity—the brain’s ability to adapt and change over time. These properties suggest that PQQ may have potential benefits for cognitive function and may even play a role in the prevention or treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
Research suggests that anesthesia, including sevoflurane, may disrupt the normal sleep architecture. Sleep is typically characterized by distinct stages, including REM (rapid eye movement) and non-REM sleep. Anesthesia may alter the balance between these stages, potentially impacting the overall quality of sleep. Therefore, while sevoflurane induces a sleep-like state, it does not necessarily contribute to the same benefits as natural sleep.
