Role of Central Neurotransmitters in Fever

  • Chapter
Pyretics and Antipyretics

Part of the book series: Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology ((HEP,volume 60))

Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to review the published evidence which suggests that central neurotransmitters play a role in fever. As such it relies heavily on two basic assumptions. Firstly that thermoregulation involves central neurotransmitter pathways and secondly that fever is a disturbance of thermoregulation. The second assumption will be discussed in full in other chapters of this book; the first has been the subject of a number of recent reviews and symposia (Cox and Lomax 1977; Milton 1978; Lomax and Schönbaum 1979; Cox et al. 1980).
