  1. 01AnimalAnimal study (in vivo)Efficacy outcome

    In rats, DSIP enhanced the hypothermia induced by intraperitoneal injection of the dopamine agonist apomorphine.

    In plain wordsIn rats, DSIP made the drop in body temperature caused by apomorphine stronger.

    Summary
    Delta sleep-inducing peptide (DSIP) and P-DSIP, phosphorylated analogue, were found to have enhancing effects on hypothermia induced by i.p. injection of apomorphine (2 mg/kg), a dopamine agonist.
  2. 02AnimalAnimal study (in vivo)Efficacy outcome

    In rats, the action of DSIP on apomorphine-induced hypothermia appeared and diminished more slowly than that of P-DSIP.

    In plain wordsIn rats, the effect of DSIP began and faded more slowly than the effect of its phosphorylated form P-DSIP.

    Summary
    Further, the action of P-DSIP appeared and diminished more quickly than that of DSIP.
  3. 03AnimalAnimal study (in vivo)Efficacy outcome

    In rats, DSIP and P-DSIP had a minimal effective dose of 10 ng and an inverted bell-shaped dose-response with a maximal effective dose of 1 microgram.

    In plain wordsIn rats, the smallest effective dose of these peptides was 10 ng, and the best dose was 1 microgram.

    Summary
    A minimal effective dose of these peptides was 10 ng and the dose-response relationship exhibited an inverted bell-shape with a maximal effective dose of 1 microgram.
  4. 04AnimalAnimal study (in vivo)Mechanism

    In rats, pretreatment with anti-DSIP totally abolished the enhancing effect of DSIP on apomorphine-induced hypothermia.

    In plain wordsIn rats, an antibody against DSIP fully blocked the extra drop in body temperature that DSIP caused.

    Summary
    By the pretreatment of anti-DSIP the enhancing effect of DSIP but not P-DSIP, was totally abolished
  5. 05AnimalAnimal study (in vivo)Mechanism

    In rats, haloperidol antagonized the action of DSIP and P-DSIP on apomorphine-induced hypothermia.

    In plain wordsIn rats, the dopamine blocker haloperidol worked against the effect of DSIP on body temperature.

    Outcome
    DecreaseDSIP effect after haloperidol
