Abstract

We investigated the effects of intraperitoneal administration of adrenoceptor antagonists on the hyperthermia and hyperglycemia induced by prostaglandin F_2α (50 μg) injected into the third cerebral ventricle in anesthetized rats. Phentolamine inhibited the hyperthermia and hyperglycemia induced by prostaglandin F_2α. Prazosin inhibited the hyperthermia induced by prostaglandin F_2α, while enhancing the hyperglycemia. Yohimbine inhibited the prostaglandin F_2α-induced hyperglycemia without an effect on the hyperthermia. Propranolol had no effect on either prostaglandin F_2α-induced hyperglycemia or hyperthermia. These observations suggest that the hyperglycemia induced by prostaglandin F_2α is regulated by α₂-adrenoceptor systems while the hyperthermia is regulated by α₁-adrenoceptor systems in rats.
