1 We have previously reported that central injection of PGE2 induces hyperthermia through its actions on EP1 receptors in rats. Dinoprostone prostaglandin E receptor 1 Rattus norvegicus
2 Because the increase in local synthesis of PGE2 is assumed to be a necessary process in a fever caused by central injection of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), an EP1 receptor antagonist (SC-19220) should inhibit the IL-1beta-induced fever. Dinoprostone prostaglandin E receptor 1 Rattus norvegicus
3 These findings suggest that the central IL-1beta-induced fever in rats is mediated, at least partly, by activation of EP1 receptors by PGE2. Dinoprostone prostaglandin E receptor 1 Rattus norvegicus
