Popis: The aim of the present study was to determine whether the ovarian hormones, estrogen and progesterone, had different influences on amino-acid-induced anti-hypothermic effects during general anesthesia. Ovariectomized Sprague–Dawley female rats were divided into four groups: those administered 17β-estradiol plus saline or an amino acid mixture (E2-Sal and E2-AA, respectively) and progesterone plus saline or an amino acid mixture (P-Sal and P-AA, respectively). Five weeks after ovariectomy, rats were given either E2 or P and then administered either Sal or AA solution for 180 min during anesthesia with sevoflurane. Rectal temperatures were measured. Rectal temperatures were significantly higher in the E2-AA group than in the E2-Sal group 165 and 180 min after initiating the infusion of the test solutions. However, no significant differences were observed between the P-treated groups. The phosphorylation of 4E-BP1 and S6K1 was significantly greater in the E2-AA group than in the E2-Sal group (P
