ABSTRACT
AIM:
To assess if endogenous arginine vasopressin is involved in normal thermoregulatory processes.METHODS:
Core temperature was monitored in undisturbed rats using radiotelemetry. Effect of AVP V 1 antagonist on normal body temperature were observed in rats under a 1212 light-dark cycle.RESULTS:
Intraperitoneal injection of AVP V 1-receptor antagonist in rats induced a increase in normal body temperature. Under normal light (light on at 600 AM-600 PM), AVP V 1 antagonist induced a increase in body temperature persisting for about 6 hour, but male rats had higher hyperthermia than female. Under normal dark exposure (light off at 600 PM- 600 AM), AVP V 1-receptor antagonist caused a increase in body temperature persisting for about 2 hour at the start of the dark phase, but no difference was found between sexes.CONCLUSION:
Intraperitoneal injection of AVP V 1-receptor antagonist caused a increase in normal body temperature. The data indicated that endogenous vasopressin could be involved in tonic thermoregulatory process.
