Intraperitoneal administration of magnolol (25-100 mg/kg) produced a dose-related fall in rats' colonic temperature. The magnolol-induced hypothermia was attenuated by pretreatment with intracerebroventricular 6-hydroxydopamine (200 microg/rat). The L-DOPA (200 mg/kg, i.p.) plus benserazide (50
1. Free radicals mediate cerebral ischaemic injury associated with heatstroke. Magnolol, an active component of Magnolia officinalis, is 1000-fold more potent than alpha-tocopherol in inhibiting lipid peroxidation in rat mitochondria. The aim of the present study was to ascertain whether magnolol
