Apomorphine-induced hyperthermia in the rabbit was shown to be dependent upon the presence of stressors. Two types of stressors were used: 1) a physical stressor, foot shock; and 2) an emotional stressor, conditioned fear. Apomorphine (4 mg/kg i.v.), in the absence of a stressor, produced behavioral
Apomorphine induced dose-dependent hyperthermia when applied intravenously to rabbits pretreated with a monoamine oxidase inhibitor. Inhibition of the synthesis of catecholamines (by alpha-MT) did not influence on apomorphine-induced hyperthermia, whereas 5-HT synthesis inhibition (by PCPA)
This study investigated whether the indices of dopaminergic function, yawning and growth hormone release induced by apomorphine, as well as the drug-induced nausea and hyperthermia, show sensitization or tolerance to repeated injections. Five normal volunteers received 12 injections of apomorphine
The involvement of transmitters in the hyperthermic effect of centrally administered pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP-38) was studied. Rats were treated with different receptor antagonists or agonists in doses that per se proved to be ineffective. The following agonists and
A 20-year-old psychiatric patient receiving haloperidol treatment developed acute-onset fever, rigidity, and mental changes. Subcutaneous apomorphine was given alone for treatment. The patient had rapid clinical improvement after the treatment. Serial blood examinations showed decline and subsequent
In group-housed mice (ten per cage), mice removed last from their home cage always have higher rectal temperatures than mice removed first from this cage. Stress-induced hyperthermia is calculated as the difference (delta T) between the basal temperature (mouse number 1) and the end temperature
In previous research, we discovered two DA-related thermoregulatory mechanisms in the rat: a haloperidol-sensitive, hypothermia-inducing mechanism and a haloperidol-nonsensitive, hyperthermia-inducing mechanism. The latter mechanism must also involve serotonin, since its activity can be blocked by
The dopaminergic agonists apomorphine and d-amphetamine elicit hyperthermic, hyperkinetic and stereotypic responses in the rabbit. The present investigation compares the influence exerted by various serotonergic antagonists upon these activities. Apomorphine-induced hyperthemia was antagonized by
OBJECTIVE
Caffeine exacerbates the hyperthermia associated with an acute exposure to 3,4 methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, 'Ecstasy') in rats. The present study investigated the mechanisms mediating this interaction.
METHODS
Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with caffeine (10 mg x
