Previous behavioural and electrophysiological studies have indicated an antinarcotic action of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) and its analogues in antagonizing the action of CNS depressant drugs, including baclofen and a variety of anesthetics. While beta-adrenergic receptors are implicated in the level of anaesthesia/arousal, whether the analeptic action of TRH involves adrenergic systems for its expression is uncertain. The object of the present experiments, therefore, was to examine interactions between adrenergic systems and the anti-anaesthetic effects of TRH analogue CG3703. It was found that pretreatment with the beta-block (+/-)propranolol did not abolish or reduce the ability of CG3703 to antagonize urethane-induced depression of VBT transmission. These results suggest therefore, that beta-adrenergic systems are unlikely to be involved in the anti-anaesthetic effect of the tripeptide.
