Summary
Hyperthermia induced by arachidonic acid in rabbit was attenuated by phenoxybenzamine, cyproheptadine and indomethacin. The reduction in arachidonic acid hyperthermia, after 6-OH-DA and the failure of PCPA to reduce this rise, indicates the involvement of noradrenaline in arachidonic acid hyperthermia.
