PG - 179-85 AB - The effects of selective cyclooxygenase-1 and cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors (valeryl salicylate and SC-58236, respectively) on Escherichia coli O111:B4 lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced dual thermoregulatory changes and serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha elevation were investigated in rats. LPS (50 microg/kg, intraperitoneal) produced an initial hypothermia that was then followed by fever. Serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha levels elevated at the initial phase of hypothermia. Valeryl salicylate injections (20, 40, and 80 mg/kg, subcutaneous [s.c.]) completely inhibited hypothermia without any effect on the elevated serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha levels and on the subsequent fever. On the other hand, SC-58236 injections (10, 20, and 40 mg/kg, s.c.) only partially abolished the hypothermia. SC-58236 had no effect on the initiation of fever, however completely inhibited the maintenance of fever. The serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha elevation was not reduced by SC-58236 treatment. The combination of valeryl salicylate and SC-58236 also failed to inhibit the initiation of fever. These findings suggest that cycloxygenase-1 may have a predominant role for the development of LPS-induced hypothermia, but cyclooxygenase-1 does not seem to be involved in the mediation of LPS-induced fever. Meanwhile, cyclooxgenase-2 may be critical for the late phase rather than the initiation of the fever response in rats.
