How to use
In Vitro:
(-)-α-pinene enhances the quantity of non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREMS) without affecting the intensity of NREMS by prolonging GABAergic synaptic transmission, acting as a partial modulator of GABAA-BZD receptors and directly binding to the BZD binding site of GABAA receptor.
