The effects of intracerebroventricular cycloheximide on protein synthesis and fever in rabbits. 1981

W I Cranston, and V N Gourine, and Y Townsend

Cycloheximide (40 micrograms) intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.) had no effect on thermoregulation against cold, but reduced fever due to an i.c.v. injection of leucocyte pyrogen (LP) by 25%, and reduced incorporation of radioactive leucine into hypothalamic protein by 94%.

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
