Abstract:
Bombesin in central nervous system (CNS) is closely related to thermoregulation. Injection of bombesin into some parts of brain caused hypothermia significantly, especially in POAH, and this effect can be enhanced by the cold ambient temperature. The mechanism might be suppress heat production and disrupt the regulatory function of thermoregulatory centre. Morever, other neuropeptides, food deprivation and lesion of VMH (ventromedial hypothalamus) affected the action of bombesin.
