Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Summary

The peculiarities of thermoregulation were studied at various periods of pregnancy (on the 4th, 12th and 21st days) in administration of aminazine (chlorpromazine) and the action of low environmental temperature. The results of experiments demonstrated that the sensitivity of rats to low temperature and to the administration of aminazine (0.55 mg per 100 gms of body weight) is changed in the opposit direction at the end of pregnancy, i. e. it is increased under the effect of low temperature and decreased as a result of administration of aminazine. In simultaneous action of aminazine and low environmental temperature there is almost no difference in the effect produced by these agents on the gravid and nongravid animals.
