  abstract  = {Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) increased the blood pressure, heart rate and body temperature, when administered at the doses ofO.OOI-IO,ug into the lateral cerebral ventricle (i.c.v.) of the urethane-anesthetised rat. The highest dose of 10 ,ug/rat induced a strong initial hypotensive effect. lntravenously (i.v.), PGE2 at the doses of 0.01-10 ,ug/rat caused a biphasic blood pressure response with dose-related initial decreases followed by slight increases in blood pressure. The heart rate and body temperature were slightly increased by i.v. administrations of PGE2 . The highest i.v. dose of 10 ,ug/rat initially decreased also the heart rate. Central pretreatment with indomethacin ( I mg/rat i.c.v.) partly antagonised all of the recorded central effects of PGE2 , while sodium meclofenamate (I mg/rat i.c. v.) abolished the hypertensive response to i.c. v. administered PGE2 but failed to significantly affect the PGE2-induced rises of heart rate and body temperature. The results support the previous suggestions that PGE2 may participate in the central cardiovascular and thermoregulatory contro!. The results also suggest that indomethacin and sodium meclofenamate antagonize the effects of exogenous prostaglandins. Since sodium meclofenamate, unlike indomethacin, affected preferentially the hypertensive response to centrally administered PGE2 , there may be differences in the sites and/or modes of action between these drugs.},

  abstract  = {Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) is the most common prostaglandin type of tile rat brain. Recently a neurornodulator role for PGD2 has been suggested. In the present work the central cardiovascular and thermal effects of PGDz were studied in urethane-anaesthetised rats. Mlen adrndnistered at the doses of 0.001-10 ~g/rat into the lateral cerebral ventricle(i.c.v.), PGD2 slightly increased the blood pressure, heart rate and body ternpera~ ure. The highest dose caused also an initial hypotensive effect. Upon lntravenous injections PGD2 (0.1-10 ~g/rat) initially decreased and then weakly increased the blood pressure but had only negligible effects on heart rate and body temperature. Central pretreatment with sodium meclofenamate or indomethacin (1 mg/rat i.c.v.) antagonised effectively all the recorded central effects of PGD2. The central cardiovascular and thermal effects of PGD2 were much weaker than those obtained earlier with other prostaglandins, such as PGF2alpha and PGE2.. Therefore, in spite of its abundance in the brain PGD2 may not be very important for the central cardiovascular and thermal regulation in the rat.},

  abstract  = {Prostacyclin (PGI2) induced a dose-dependent decrease in blood pressure with slight increases in heart rate and body temperature, when administered at the doses of 0.1-100 ~g into the lateral cerebral ventricle (i.c.v.) of the urethane-anaesthetised rat. When the same doses were administered intravenously, both the blood pressure and heart rate decreased. Central pretreatment wib~ sodiurn meclofenamate (1 mg/rat i.c.v.) antagonised the central hypotensive effect of PGI2 but i.c.v. pretreatrnent of the rats with indomethacin (1 mg/rat) failed to affect the PGI 2-induced hypotension. Central pretreatment with two histamine H2-receptor antagonists, cimetidine (500 ~g/rat i.c.v.) or metiamide (488 ~g/rat i.c.v.), antagonised the blood pressure lowering effect of 0.1 ~g dose of PGI2 but failed to affect the hypotension induced by higher PGI2 doses. Therefore the main central hypotensive effect of PGI2 seems not to be associated with the stimulation of histamine H2 -receptors in the brain. The hypotensive effect of i.c.v. administered PGI2 appears to be due to an action upon the central nervous system rather than to a leakage into the peripheral circulation. This assurnption is supported by the fact that sodiurn meclofenamate i.c.v. antagonised the effect of PGI 2. In addition, the chronotropic response to i.c.v. PGI2 was opposite to that induced by intravenous administration. The results also suggest that there may be differences in the mode of action between sodiurn meclofenamate and indomethacin.},

  abstract  = {Administration of PGF 2IX (0.2-6.4 J.lg) into the lateral cerebral ventricle (i.c.v.) induced dosedependent increases in blood pressure , heart rate and body temperature in urethane-anaesthetised rats, but had no effect on these parameters when the same dose range was administered intravenously. Peripheral pretreatment with sodium meclofenamate (50 mg/kg s.c.) sltifted all the dose-response curves for PGF 2IX (i.c.v.) to the left, but indomethacin (50 mg/kg s.c.) did not significantly affect those changes. Central pretreatment with sodiurn meclofenamate or indomethacin (1.25 mg per rat i.c.v.) failed to modify significantly the effects of centrally administered PGF 2IX' The results support previous suggestions that PGF 2IX may participate in the central control of the cardiovascular and thermoregulatory systems, and also suggest that there may be differences in the sites and/or modes of action between sodiurn meclofenamate and indomethacin.},
