Intraperitoneal injection of disulfiram, a dopamine-β-hydroxylase inhibitor (DβHI), in normal rats produced a dose-dependent hypothermia which was significantly reduced by pimozide, a selective blocker of dopamine receptors. Intraperitoneal injection of another DßHI, methimazole, in normal rats also produced hypothermia which was significantly reduced by pimozide. These experiments demonstrate that disulfiram is capable of producing hypothermia in the normal rat when it is given systemically. The fact that pimozide significantly reduced the hypothermia induced by disulfiram or methimazole, indicates that this hypothermie response might involve activation of dopamine receptors.
