Abstract
Pretreatment with recombinant human interleukin-1α (rhIL-1α) 20 h before irradiation attenuates radiation-induced hyperthermia. Experiments were conducted to determine the role of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) in rhIL-1α-induced attenuation of radiation-induced hyperthermia. Radiation exposure increased SOD and decreased GSHPx levels in the hypothalamus, while treatment with rhIL-1α increased GSHPx levels and had no effect on SOD levels. However, rhIL-1α and irradiation together increased hypothalamic SOD level but prevented the fall in GSHPx level. Our results suggest that attenuation of radiation-induced hyperthermia by rhIL-1α may involve stimulation of SOD and GSHPx because rhIL-1α treatment and irradiation together increased hypothalamic GSHPx and SOD levels, and intracerebroventricular administration of SOD and GSHPx attenuated the radiation-induced hyperthermia.
期刊介绍:
An international multidisciplinary journal devoted to fundamental research in the brain sciences.
Brain Research publishes papers reporting interdisciplinary investigations of nervous system structure and function that are of general interest to the international community of neuroscientists. As is evident from the journals name, its scope is broad, ranging from cellular and molecular studies through systems neuroscience, cognition and disease. Invited reviews are also published; suggestions for and inquiries about potential reviews are welcomed.
With the appearance of the final issue of the 2011 subscription, Vol. 67/1-2 (24 June 2011), Brain Research Reviews has ceased publication as a distinct journal separate from Brain Research. Review articles accepted for Brain Research are now published in that journal.
