Abstract

Thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) antagonizes the behavioral and temperature reducing effects of pentobarbital in rodents. The hormone is effective whether given before or after the barbiturate. This antagonism by TRH of the effects of pentobarbital probably does not depend upon thyroid hormone release as L-triiodothyronine administration is ineffective.
