Abstract
Norepinephrine (NE) microdialyzed in the preoptic area (POA) raises core temperature (Tc) via 1) α1-adrenoceptors (AR), quickly and independently of POA PGE2, and 2) α2-AR, after a delay and PGE2 dependently. Since systemic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) activates the central noradrenergic system, we investigated whether preoptic NE mediates LPS fever. We injected LPS (2 μg/kg iv) in guinea pigs prepared with intra-POA microdialysis probes and determined POA cerebrospinal (CSF) NE levels. We similarly microdialyzed prazosin (α1 blocker, 1 μg/μl), yohimbine (α2 blocker, 1 μg/μl), SC-560 [cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 blocker, 5 μg/μl], acetaminophen (presumptive COX-1v blocker, 5 μg/μl), or MK-0663 (COX-2 blocker, 0.5 μg/μl) in other animals before intravenous LPS and measured CSF PGE2. All of the agents were perfused at 2 μg/min for 6 h. Tc was monitored constantly. POA NE peaked within 30 min after LPS and then returned to baseline over the next 90 min. Tc increased within 12 min to a first peak at ∼60 min and to a second at ∼150 min and then declined over the following 2.5 h. POA PGE2 followed a concurrent course. Prazosin pretreatment eliminated the first Tc rise but not the second; PGE2 rose normally. Yohimbine pretreatment did not affect the first Tc rise, which continued unchanged for 6 h; the second rise, however, was absent, and PGE2 levels did not increase. SC-560 and acetaminophen did not alter the LPS-induced PGE2 and Tc rises; MK-0663 prevented both the late PGE2 and Tc rises. These results confirm that POA NE is pivotal in the development of LPS fever.

Abstract
Endotoxic fever is regulated by endogenous factors that provide pro- and anti-pyretic signals at different points along the febrigenic pathway, from the periphery to the brain. Current evidence indicates that the febrile response to invading Gram-negative bacteria and their products is initiated upon their arrival in the liver via the circulation and their uptake by Kupffer cells (Kc). These pathogens activate the complement cascade on contact, hence generating complement component 5a. It, in turn, very rapidly stimulates Kc to release prostaglandin (PG)E2. Pyrogenic cytokines (TNF-alpha, etc.) are produced later and are no longer considered to be the immediate triggers of fever. The Kc-generated PGE2 either (1) may be transported by the bloodstream to the ventromedial preoptic-anterior hypothalamus (POA, the locus of the temperature-regulating center), presumptively diffusing into it and acting on thermoregulatory neurons; PGE2 is thus taken to be the final, central fever mediator. Or (2) it may activate hepatic vagal afferents projecting to the medulla oblongata, thence to the POA via the ventral noradrenergic bundle. Norepinephrine consequently secreted stimulates alpha1-adrenoceptors on thermoregulatory neurons, rapidly evoking an initial rise in core temperature (Tc) not associated with any change in POA PGE2; this neural, PGE2-independent signaling pathway is quicker than the blood-borne route. Elevated POA PGE2 and a secondary Tc rise occur later, consequent to alpha2 stimulation. Endogenous counter-regulatory factors are also elaborated peripherally and centrally at different points during the course of the febrile response; they are, therefore, anti-pyretic. These multiple interacting pathways are the subject of this review.

Abstract
We have shown previously that norepinephrine (NE) microdialyzed into the preoptic area (POA) of conscious guinea pigs stimulates local PGE(2) release. To identify the cyclooxygenase (COX) isozyme that catalyzes the production of this PGE(2) and the adrenoceptor (AR) subtype that mediates this effect, we microdialyzed for 6 h NE, cirazoline (alpha(1)-AR agonist), and clonidine (alpha(2)-AR agonist) into the POA of conscious guinea pigs pretreated intrapreoptically (intra-POA) with SC-560 (COX-1 inhibitor) or nimesulide or MK-0663 (COX-2 inhibitors) and measured the animals' core temperature (T(c)) and intra-POA PGE(2) responses. Cirazoline induced T(c) rises promptly after the onset of its dialysis without altering PGE(2) levels. NE and clonidine caused early falls followed by late rises of T(c); intra-POA PGE(2) levels were closely correlated with this thermal course. COX-1 inhibition attenuated the clonidine-induced T(c) and PGE(2) falls but not the NE-elicited hyperthermia, but COX-2 inhibition suppressed both the clonidine- and NE-induced T(c) and PGE(2) rises. Coinfused cirazoline and clonidine reproduced the late T(c) rise of clonidine but not its early fall and also not the early rise produced by cirazoline; on the other hand, the PGE(2) responses were similar to those to NE. Prazosin (alpha(1)-AR antagonist) and yohimbine (alpha(2)-AR antagonist) blocked the effects of their respective agonists. These results indicate that alpha(1)- and alpha(2)-AR agonists microdialyzed into the POA of conscious guinea pigs evoke distinct T(c) responses: alpha(1)-AR activation produces quick, PGE(2)-independent T(c) rises, and alpha(2)-AR stimulation causes an early T(c) fall and a late, COX-2/PGE(2)-dependent T(c) rise.

Abstract
The anti-pyretic effect of a selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor, DFU (5,5-dimethyl-3-(3-fluorophenyl)-4-(4-methylsulfonyl)phenyl-2(5H)-furano ne), was examined in conscious, un-restrained squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) using a radio telemetric system. Injection of bacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, 6 microg kg(-1), i.v.) in squirrel monkeys caused a gradual increase in core body temperature reaching a plateau of 2.07 +/- 0.17 degrees C above baseline at 2 h post-injection. Oral administration of DFU (1 mg kg(-1)) reduced, and DFU (3 mg kg(-1)) completely reversed the lipopolysaccharide-induced pyretic responses. The onset of action of DFU (about 30 min) is in good agreement with the pharmacokinetic profile of this compound in squirrel monkeys. The effect of DFU is comparable to that of a conventional non-selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), diclofenac (3 mg kg(-1)). Since the plasma levels achieved for DFU at the dose employed in the present study are below the threshold required for inhibition of cyclooxygenase-1, it is concluded that the anti-pyretic effect of DFU can be attributed predominantly to an inhibitory action on cyclooxygenase-2. Thus, lipopolysaccharide-induced pyresis in squirrel monkeys can be used as a model for evaluation of anti-pyretic activity of cyclooxygenase inhibitors.

Abstract
The role of a prostaglandin of the E series (PGE) in the hypothalamic mechanisms underlying a fever continues to be controversial. This paper reviews the historical literature and current findings on the central action of the PGEs on body temperature (Tb). New experiments were undertaken to examine the local effect of muscarinic, nicotinic, serotonergic, alpha-adrenergic, or beta-adrenergic receptor antagonists at hypothalamic sites where PGE1 caused a rise in Tb of the primate. Guide tubes for microinjection were implanted stereotaxically above sites in and around the anterior hypothalamic, preoptic area (AH/POA) of male Macaque monkeys. Following postoperative recovery, 30-100 ng of PGE1 was micro-injected unilaterally in a volume of 1.0-1.5 microliter at sites in the AH/POA to evoke a rise in Tb, and once identified, pretreated with a receptor antagonist. PGE1 hyperthermia was significantly reduced by microinjections of the muscarinic and nicotinic antagonists, atropine, or mecamylamine, at PGE1 reactive sites in the AH/POA. The serotonergic antagonist, methysergide, injected at PGE1 sensitive sites in the ventromedial hypothalamus also attenuated the rise in Tb. However, the 5-HT reuptake blocker, fluoxetine, and the beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist, propranolol, injected in the AH/POA failed to alter the PGE1 hyperthermia. In contrast, the alpha-adrenergic antagonist, phentolamine, potentiated the increase in Tb at all PGE1 reactive sites in the hypothalamus. An updated model is presented to explain how the concurrent actions of aminergic neurotransmitters acting on their respective receptors in the hypothalamus can interact with a PGE to elicit hyperthermia. Finally, an evaluation of the current literature including recent findings on macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP-1) supports the conclusion that a PGE in the brain is neither an obligatory nor essential factor for the expression of a pyrogen fever.

Abstract
1. Fever was produced by intravenous injection of lipopolysaccharide E. coli (LPS; 1 micrograms/kg). Immediately after pyrogen administration, body temperature started increasing until it reached a maximum level (1.7 degrees C) at the 3rd hour of the experiment. The febrile response was accompanied by stimulation of metabolic heat production (maximum by 0.31 W/kg), falls in Te (maximum 7.2 degrees C) and Eres (maximum 0.05 W/kg). 2. Thirty minutes after pyrogen administration, the rabbits were treated intravenously with alpha 1-adrenoceptor antagonist, in the form of a bolus injection (1 ml/kg). All the tested drugs reduced fever from 20% by CRN to 105% by PRA. The antipyretic effect of DOX, BMY, PRA, DHBP was associated with inhibition of metabolism and vasodilation of the ear skin. The rest of the compounds produced antipyresis mainly by depression of metabolism. Apart from PRA and CRN, which inhibited Eres three times, the other compounds did not affect heat exchange from the respiratory tract. 3. One may conclude that the antipyretic effect is a general feature of alpha 1-adrenergic blocking drugs, and is accompanied by inhibition of heat production and/or stimulation of heat loss processes. The antipyretic properties of these blockers might be significant from the clinical point of view.

Abstract
1. Thermoregulatory effector processes were investigated in rabbits after treatment with 1 and 2 micrograms/kg of lipopolysaccharide Escherichia coli (LPS). Both doses produced a fever reaction resulting from stimulation of the metabolic rate and heat conservation responses. 2. BE 2254 administered in feverish rabbits reduced the metabolic as well as pyretic activity produced by both doses of pyrogen. 3. It is suggested that stimulation of the thermoregulatory heat production which contributes to a febrile rise in body temperature is dependent on alpha 1-adrenoceptor mechanisms.

Abstract
1. Thermal responses to i.v. administration of doxazosin (0.75 or 1.50 mg/kg), urapidil (5.0 or 10.0 mg/kg), or indoramin (0.75 or 1.50 mg/kg) were investigated in febrile rabbits (treated with Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide) at an ambient temperature of 19 +/- 1 degree C. 2. All these alpha 1-adrenoceptor blockers produced statistically significant antipyresis which developed as a result of inhibition of metabolic heat production and/or stimulation of heat elimination from the ear skin area or respiratory tract. 3. It appears that the antipyretic effect is a general feature of alpha 1-adrenergic receptor blockers. The possible mechanisms by which antipyresis is produced are being considered.

Abstract
The study is aimed at investigating the possible involvement of adrenergic mechanisms in the medial preoptic area (mPOA) for modulation of sleep-wakefulness in rats. In this study, saline, norepinephrine (NE), phenoxybenzamine (PBZ) and propranolol (PROP) were injected in the mPOA in different groups of male rats during the day and night. NE and PBZ were injected, during the day and the night respectively, in some control areas adjoining the mPOA in two other groups of animals. Arousal was produced by NE, and sleep by PBZ when they were applied in the mPOA. All other procedures, including application of NE and PBZ in the control areas and beta blocker (PROP) in the mPOA, did not produce alterations in sleep-wakefulness. These findings provide support for a physiological role played by the alpha adrenergic system in the mPOA for arousal, and area specificity of action of this system.

Abstract
The thermoregulatory, effector processes were investigated in rabbits after treatment with 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) and lipopolysaccharide Escherichia coli (LPS). Pyrogen (1 microgram/kg, i.v.) produced a fever reaction resulting from stimulation of the metabolic rate and heat conservation responses. Pretreatment with 6-OHDA (3 X 500 micrograms, i.c.v.) reduced the metabolic as well as pyretic activity of pyrogen. It is suggested that stimulation of the thermoregulatory heat production which contributes to the febrile rise in body temperature is dependent on the intact adrenergic structures in the central nervous system.

Abstract
Intracerebroventricular administration of (D-ala2, N-Me-Phe4, Met-(O)5-ol)-enkephalin (FK 33-824) induced dose-related hyperthermia in rabbits and guinea-pigs. Prostaglandins (PG) and norepinephrine (NE) were not involved in the hyperthermia induced by FK 33-824 because a cyclooxygenase inhibitor, indomethacin, and an alpha-adrenoceptor antagonist, phenoxybenzamine, had no antagonistic effects. Likewise, cAMP was not required since a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, theophylline, did not accentuate the hyperthermia due to FK 33-824. It is suggested that mu receptors were involved in the induction of hyperthermia by FK 33-824 in rabbits and guinea-pigs since naloxone attenuated it. These results indicate that FK 33-824-induced hyperthermia is not mediated by PG, NE and cAMP, but rather that mu receptors are involved in the induction of hyperthermia by FK 33-824.

Abstract
Intracerebroventricular administration of all three prototype non-peptide opioid receptor (mu, kappa and sigma) agonists, morphine, ketocyclazocine and N-allyl-normetazocine (SKF 10,047) induced hyperthermia in rabbits. Similar administration of peptide opioids like beta-endorphin (BE), methionine-enkephalin (ME) and its synthetic analogue D-ala2-methionine-enkephalinamide (DAME) also caused hyperthermia. As expected, the synthetic enkephalin DAME was more potent than the parent enkephalin. Of the three anion transport systems (iodide, hippurate and liver-like or L) present in the choroid plexus, it is suggested that only the L transport system seems to be important to ventricular inactivation of BE and DAME since iodipamide (an inhibitor of the L transport system) augmented the hyperthermia produced by BE and DAME. Prostaglandins (PG) and norepinephrine (NE) were not involved in peptide and non-peptide opioid-induced hyperthermia because a PG synthesis inhibitor, indomethacin, and an alpha-adrenergic receptor blocker, phenoxybenzamine, had no thermolytic effect on them. Likewise cAMP was not required since a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, theophylline, did not accentuate the hyperthermia due to peptide and non-peptide opioids. Naloxone-sensitive receptors were involved in the induction of hyperthermia by morphine. BE, ME and DAME since naloxone attentuated them. In contrast, the hyperthermic response to ketocyclazocine and SKF 10,047 were not antagonized by naloxone.

Abstract
Intracerebroventricular administration of prostacyclin (PGI2) at room temperature (21 degrees C) induced dose-related hyperthermia in rabbits and also produced hyperthermia at low (4 degrees C) and high (30 degrees C) ambient temperatures. The PGI2-induced hyperthermia was not mediated by its stable metabolite 6-keto prostaglandin F1 alpha. Of the three anion transport systems (iodide, hippurate and liver-like) present in the choroid plexus, only the liver transport system seems to be important to central inactivation of pyrogen, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and the PGI2. Iodipamide (an inhibitor of the liver transport system) augmented the hyperthermia produced by PGI2, PGE2 and pyrogen. Phenoxybenzamine and pimozide had no thermolytic effect on PGI2-induced hyperthermia. After norepinephrine (NE) and dopamine levels were depleted by 6-hydroxydopamine, PGI2 still induced hyperthermia. Indomethacin and SC-19220 (a PG antagonist) did not antagonize PGI2-induced hyperthermia. Furthermore, the hyperthermia due to PGI2 was not accentuated by theophylline. In contrast, the hyperthermic response to PGI2 was attenuated by central administration of the protein synthesis inhibitor, anisomycin. These results indicate that PGI2-induced hyperthermia is not mediated by NE, dopamine, PGS, cyclic AMP, but, rather, that a protein mediator is implicated in the induction of fever by PGI2.

Abstract
This review presents several areas of research on the pathogenesis of fever in humans and updates new information concerning the role of fever in host defense mechanisms. Fever is mediated by a polypeptide of phagocytic cell origin called leukocytic pyrogen. Several agents and disease processes are associated with the synthesis and release of leukocytic pyrogen. Although the original studies on leukocytic pyrogen suggested that the neutrophil was the primary source, recent experiments indicate the mononuclear phagocyte to be the major producer of leukocytic pyrogen. The mechanism by which human monocytes are stimulated to produce leukocytic pyrogen is discussed, including the effects of corticosteroids, estrogens and antipyretics on the synthesis of leukocytic pyrogen in vitro. The ability of leukocytic pyrogen to alter the hypothalamic thermoregulatory center by increasing arachidonic acid metabolite levels is the most likely mechanism by which leukocytic pyrogen initiates fever. Antipyretics prevent the synthesis of certain cyclooxygenase metabolites, which accounts for their ability to reduce fever. Studies on the chemical and physical properties of human leukocytic pyrogen are reviewed and form the basis for current experiments on the similarities between leukocytic pyrogen and lymphocyte activating factor. These studies suggest that leukocytic pyrogen, in addition to producing fever, also stimulates non-hypothalamic cells involved in aspects of the acute-phase response. In this regard, leukocytic pyrogen may be an important mechanism for host defenses. Hyperthermia may also be beneficial to the host but is distinct from fever; the role of leukocytic pyrogen as well as hyperthermia as a defense mechanism is discussed.

Abstract
Ten days after administration of 5,6-dihydroxytryptamine, which causes degeneration of central serotoninergic neurons, the depressive behavioral effects of PGF2 alpha and PGE2 were evidently inhibited. Central chemical serotoninectomy abolished the hyperthermic and hypertensive effects of PGF2 alpha, but only slightly affected those of PGE2. It is concluded that serotoninergic neurons mediate the depressive behavioral action of both PGF2 alpha and PGE2. They also mediate the hyperthermic and hypertensive action of PGF2 alpha but not of PGE2. This suggests that these prostaglandins have different central modes of action.

Abstract
An exotoxin of Bacillus thuringiensis known to inhibit adenylate cyclase in vitro has been used to investigate the role of cyclic AMP in the pathogenesis of fever in the rabbit. Intra-hypothalamic microinjections of the exotoxin are non-pyrogenic and significantly attenuate the hyperthermia caused by intrahypothalamic microinjections of both bacterial pyrogen (endotoxin) and prostaglandin E1. The hyperthermia produced by dibutyrl cyclic AMP is not affected by the exotoxin. These results support the idea that adenylate cyclase is activated during the development of fever in the rabbit.
