Effect of naoreqing oral liquid on cAMP contents of hypothalamus and cerebrospinal fluid in endogenous pyrogen-induced febrile rabbits / 中国病理生理杂志

AIM: To investigate the antipyretic mechanism of Naoreqing (NRQ) oral liquid, a Chinese medicine. METHODS: ① Fever models of rabbits were established by intravenous. injection of endogenous pyrogen (EP). ② The antipyretic action of NRQ were observed. ③ cAMP contents in the hypothalamus (HP) and the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were determined by radioimmunoassay. RESULTS: ① NRQ obviously reduced body temperature of febrile rabbits induced by EP (P
