Core body temperature recordings in conscious WT mice given vehicle, prazosin (0.1 mg kg−1), RS 100329 (0.1 mg kg−1), BMY 7378 (0.5 mg kg−1), RS 100329 (0.1 mg kg−1) plus BMY 7378 (0.5 mg kg−1) or cyclazosin (1 mg kg-1) 30 min prior to administration of MDMA (20 mg kg−1), at room temperature. All drugs were administered s.c. Responses are expressed as (a) absolute body temperature and (b) change in body temperature. Vertical bars indicate the s.e.mean from 5–9 mice. Antagonist or vehicle was injected at time 0, and MDMA at 30 min.
