Development changes in the febrile response to endotoxin in rabbit

The Japanese Journal of Physiology
A Nishio, S Kanoh

Abstract

The pyrogenicity of E. coli endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS) was measured at both 25 degrees C and neutral temperatures (Tn) in day -1 to adult rabbits. Intravenous injection of endotoxin (0.5 micrograms/kg) produced febrile response at Tn in day -1 rabbits, but not at 25 degrees C. A similar response was observed when endotoxin was injected s.c. (1.0 micrograms/kg) or intracisternally (0.0001 micrograms/kg). The mean magnitude of the rise of rectal temperature increased with the advance of age. Propranolol abolished the endotoxin-fever in day 3 rabbits. The inhibitory effect of propranolol was incomplete in day 14 rabbits and was not seen in day 28 rabbits. The inhibitory effect of phentolamine was not observed in day 3 and day 28 rabbits, but the blocker reduced the febrile response in day 14 rabbits. No shivering activity was evident in day 3 rabbits after injection of endotoxin. In the day 7 and 14 rabbits, shivering was less significant and of shorter duration than in the case of day 28 rabbits. The endotoxin caused no significant decrease in ear skin temperature in day 3 rabbits. A decrease in ear skin temperature was observed in rabbits older than 14 days. Thus, pyrogenic sensitivity is apparent even in day -1 rabbits...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
