beta phenylethylamine/hypothermia

Beta-phenylethylamine (PEA) is an endogenous amine which is metabolised by MAO B. The function of this enzyme is known to be modified by ethanol so we have studied the interactions of PEA with ethanol. Rectal temperatures of rats were determined and animals pretreated with ethanol (2.5 g kg-1 IP) 90

Beta-phenylethylamine on injection into mice (100 mg/kg i.p.) produces a marked hyperthermia which is followed by a prolonged hypothermia. The hyperthermic response was studied in this report. The hyperthermic response was inhibited by p-chlorophenylalanine, methysergide, cyproheptadine,

Morphine (30 mg/kg i.p.) produced a hypothermic effect in restrained rats which was antagonized by naloxone pretreatment (10 mg/kg s.c.). This hypothermia was inhibited by deprenyl pretreatment (5 mg/kg i.p.) and by beta-phenylethylamine treatment (25 mg/kg i.p.). However, the effect of morphine was

Mature male or female Sprague-Dawley rats were injected intraperitoneally with various doses (0.005, 0.027 and 0.05 mM/Kg) of (+) amphetamine sulfate or (+)-alpha-fluoromethyl-beta-phenylethylamine hydrochloride. Core (rectal) body temperatures were measured at pretreatment and 30, 60, 90, 120, 180,

The following NEKY have been studied: 1-kynurenine (KYN), 3-hydroxyKYN (3HKYN), kynurenic (KYNA), anthranilic (ANT), 3-hydroxyANT (3HANT), quinolinic (QUIN), picolinic (PICA), xanthurenic (XAN), nicotinic (NIC) acids, 3-indole-pyruvate (IPA), nicotinamide (NAM). NEKY antagonize the central effects

3-Iodothyronamine (T1AM) is a metabolite of thyroid hormone. It is an agonist at trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1), a recently identified receptor involved in monoaminergic regulation and a potential novel therapeutic target. Here, T1AM was studied using rhesus monkey TAAR1 and/or human
