1 Hypothermic responses to infection are inhibited by α2-adrenoceptor agonists with possible clinical implications  S. Tolchard, P.A. Burns, D.J. Nutt, S.M.

2 Fig 1 Time course of mean (sem) body temperature sampled at consecutive 5 min intervals for 30 min before and 120 min after a single i.v. injection (arrow) of either sterile saline (0.9%, 0.1 ml) or LPS (3.5 µg, 0.1 ml sterile saline) in rats receiving a continuous i.v. infusion (9 µl min−1) of either (a) sterile saline (0.9%), (b) mivazerol (4.8 µg−1 kg−1 h−1 in 0.9% sterile saline vehicle), (c) mivazerol (10 µg−1 kg−1 h−1 in 0.9% sterile saline vehicle), or (d) UK (6 µg kg−1 h−1 in 0.9% sterile saline vehicle).

3 Fig 2 Time course of mean (sem) body temperature sampled at consecutive 5 min intervals for 30 min before and 120 min after a single i.v. injection (arrow) of either sterile saline (0.9%, 0.1 ml) or LPS (3.5 µg, 0.1 ml sterile saline) in rats receiving a continuous i.v. infusion of either (a) RX811059A (7 µg kg−1 h−1 in 0.9% sterile saline vehicle) or (b) mivazerol and RX811059A (4.8 and 7 µg kg−1 h−1, respectively, in 0.9% sterile saline vehicle).

4 Fig 3 Plasma corticosterone levels obtained after temperature measurement in animals receiving i.v. infusion/i.v. bolus injection. Data are plotted as median (circle) and range (error bars).
