Naloxone antagonism of the thermoregulatory effects of phencyclidine
SD Glick
and
RA Guido
Phencyclidine elicits hyperthermia at low doses and hypothermia at high doses in rats. Naloxone antagonizes both effects. Phencyclidine's effects on thermo-regulation are probably mediated by an interaction with a mu opiate receptor.
