Differential effects on temperature of chlorpromazine injected into PO/AH and medulla oblongata of the rat. 1978

G P Trzcinka, and J M Lipton, and M Hawkins, and W G Clark

Hyperthermic responses developed after injections of chlorpromazine into the preoptic/anterior hypothalamic (PO/AH) region of unrestrained rats. Sites near hte posterior border of the anterior hypothalamus were the most sensitive. Injections of chlorpromazine into the medulla oblongata did not alter rectal temperature in intact rats but caused hypothermic responses when the PO/AH region had been destroyed. These results provide additional evidence for a secondary temperature control in the medulla which ordinarily responds minimally to drugs and which may be suppressed by an intact primary control in the PO/AH region.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007032 Hypothalamus, Anterior The front portion of the HYPOTHALAMUS separated into the preoptic region and the supraoptic region. The preoptic region is made up of the periventricular GRAY MATTER of the rostral portion of the THIRD VENTRICLE and contains the preoptic ventricular nucleus and the medial preoptic nucleus. The supraoptic region contains the PARAVENTRICULAR HYPOTHALAMIC NUCLEUS, the SUPRAOPTIC NUCLEUS, the ANTERIOR HYPOTHALAMIC NUCLEUS, and the SUPRACHIASMATIC NUCLEUS.

D008526 Medulla Oblongata The lower portion of the BRAIN STEM. It is inferior to the PONS and anterior to the CEREBELLUM. Medulla oblongata serves as a relay station between the brain and the spinal cord, and contains centers for regulating respiratory, vasomotor, cardiac, and reflex activities.

D002746 Chlorpromazine The prototypical phenothiazine antipsychotic drug. Like the other drugs in this class chlorpromazine's antipsychotic actions are thought to be due to long-term adaptation by the brain to blocking DOPAMINE RECEPTORS. Chlorpromazine has several other actions and therapeutic uses, including as an antiemetic and in the treatment of intractable hiccup.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
