title: [Antiinflammatory drugs inhibit the elevation of plasma CGRP concentration in endotoxin shock in rats].
abstract: In the present study, we observed the effects of indomethacin, ibuprofen, naloxone and morphine on plasma CGRP concentration 3 h after endotoxin shock in conscious rats. The results showed that indomethacin, ibuprofen and naloxone significantly inhibited the elevation of plasma CGRP concentration as well as reduced the lesion in the intestine during endotoxin shock. However, morphine had no significant effect. The data are consistent with our hypothesis that prostaglandin, as one of the inflammatory mediators which increase in shock may be an important endogenous factor for triggering the CGRP release during endotoxin shock.
