Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide mediates bacterial endotoxin-induced fever via an effect on cyclooxygenase-2 and inflammatory cytokines

Abstract A role for pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) signaling was suggested in bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced fever, but the underlying mechanisms of how PACAP contributes to the febrile response have remained unclarified. We administered LPS (120 µg/kg, intrap...
