Effects of increasing serotonergic receptor activity in brain on prostagladin E1-induced fever in rabbits. 1979

M T Lin, and I H Pang, and S I Chern, and Y F Chern

In rabbits, increasing serotonergic receptor activity or funtional serotonin in brain with either the inhibitors of serotonin reuptake (e.g. fluoxetine and chlorimipramine) or the serotonin precursor 5-hydroxytryptophan in combination with the peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor benserazide, greatly reduced the fever induced by intraventricular prostaglandin E1. The data indicate the brain serotonin plays a role in the elaboration or modulation of the prostaglandin E1-induced fever.

Three of the six naturally occurring prostaglandins. They are considered primary in that no one is derived from another in living organisms. Originally isolated from sheep seminal fluid and vesicles, they are found in many organs and tissues and play a major role in mediating various physiological activities. PGE

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D002997 Clomipramine A tricyclic antidepressant similar to IMIPRAMINE that selectively inhibits the uptake of serotonin in the brain. It is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and demethylated in the liver to form its primary active metabolite, desmethylclomipramine.
