title: The effect of bovine fibrinopeptides on the central action of chlorpromazine and amphetamine in rats.
abstract: A mixture of fibrinopeptides A and B did not evoke any significant central effects when given by intraperitoneal injection, whereas it increased psychomotor activity when injected into a cerebral ventricle. The fibrinopeptides when given by intraperitoneal injection interacted with amphetamine to increase locomotor activity and with chlorpromazine to decrease both locomotor activity and body temperature. It is suggested that the release of fibrinopeptides in various clinical conditions where there is increased fibrinogen-fibrin conversion may lead to an altered sensitivity to centrally acting drugs.
