Abstract
The possibility that polyphloretin phosphate (PPP) antagonizes the central effects elicited by prostaglandin (PG) E2 and F2α was investigated. PPP was administered i.c.v. to male Wistar rats (10 or 25 μg) 10 or 30 min before i.c.v. injection of PGE2 or PGF2α (1 or 10 μg). The duration of several components of behavior, the degree of irritability, and the rectal temperature of rats were measured; the levels of noradrenaline, dopamine, 5-hydroxytryptamine, and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid were measured spectrophotofluorometrically in discrete brain areas. PPP antagonized temperature and behavioral changes induced in rats by PGF2α, but not those induced by PGE2. The magnitude of antagonism depended on the dose of PPP and on the time of the pretreatment before PGF2α administration. Changes in the level of biogenic amines in discrete brain areas evoked by PGs were not affected by PPP. We found that PPP antagonizes the central effects of PGF2α but not those of PGE2, and that changes of biogenic amines in discrete brain areas elicited by PGs are not specific.This publication has 34 references indexed in Scilit:
