Abstract:
The effects of perfusing the lateral cerebroventricle with CaCl_2 on the febrile response and cAMP concentrations of the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) during endotoxic fever were observed in forty experimental rabbits. The results showed that the increase of the body temperature and cAMP concentration in CSF induced by endotoxin were significantly inhibited by perfusing the lateral cerebroventricle with CaCl_2. The authors inferred that the increase of Na~+/Ca~(++) ratio led to the increase of cAMP concentration in the hypothalamus may act as an important central febrile link in endotoxic fever. In addition, cAMP may have no relation with the mechan ism that the decrease of Na~+/Ca_(++) ratio in the hypothalamus can cause the fall of the normal body temperature in rabbits.
