[Effect of naloxone and thyroliberin on respiration in acute hypoxia].

Experiments on 48 adult rats anesthetized with urethane were made to study the effects of naloxone and thyrotropin-releasing hormone on respiration after acute hemorrhage. The drugs were injected intravenously in doses 0.25-0.30 mg/kg. The changes found in the electromyogram of the diaphragm, blood pressure and ECG demonstrated naloxone and thyrotropin-releasing hormone to stimulate the respiratory center at different stages of respiratory disorders (dyspnea, apnea, gasping) induced by hemorrhage.
