1 Interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and other cytokines produce fever by stimulating prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) synthesis in thermoregulatory regions of the preoptic area and anterior hypothalamus (POA/AH). Prostaglandins E interleukin 1 beta Rattus norvegicus
2 Interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and other cytokines produce fever by stimulating prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) synthesis in thermoregulatory regions of the preoptic area and anterior hypothalamus (POA/AH). Prostaglandins E interleukin 1 beta Rattus norvegicus
3 Interleukin-1beta (1 U) injection into the same PGE(2) responsive thermogenic sites in the mPOA elicited a prolonged rise in colonic temperature (T(c)) (+1.02+/-0.06 degrees C) that persisted for at least 2 h. Glycyl-glutamine (3 nmol) co-injection into the mPOA inhibited IL-1beta thermogenesis completely (T(c)=-0.18+/-0.22 degrees C). Prostaglandins E interleukin 1 beta Rattus norvegicus
