| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The intraperitoneal administration of the ghrelin raised respiratory quotient and decreased the body temperature. Peripheral administration of des acyl ghrelin increased a survival rate of rats maintained under the high temperature. The interventricular administration of neuromedin S (NMS) increased the body surface temperature. This rise was prevented by the pre- administration of SR59230A which was selective blocker for noradrenaline β3 receptors. In addition, it was also completely prevented by the pre-administration of indomethacin which inhibited cyclooxygenase for the synthesis of PGE2. NMS knockout mouse exhibited significant decrease of body surface temperature under cold exposure (4C x 90 min), in comparison with wild mouse.
