  • Title: Effects of kainic acid on hypothermia induced by reserpine, oxotremorine and apomorphine in mice.
    Author: Bourin M, Poisson L, Larousse C.
    Journal: Arzneimittelforschung; 1987 Mar; 37(3):329-31. PubMed ID: 3593446.
    Abstract:
    Antagonists of the norepinephrine reuptake and beta-adrenoreceptor agonists are potent, at once, on the three following tests: antagonism of hypothermia induced by reserpine, oxotremorine and apomorphine. 2-Carboxy-4-isopropenyl-3-pyrrolidine-acetic acid (kainic acid), which is a powerful stimulant of the neurons and a destroyer of the dopaminergic neurons, has been used in these tests to show if it is possible to antagonize hypothermia induced by different substances. The results obtained show that kainic acid is potent on these three tests, thus providing evidence that it is a stimulant of norepinephrine neurons as well as serotoninergic neurons, even if it is peripherically injected.
