We previously reported that sevoflurane-induced pica, kaolin ingestion behavior, in rats has the potential to reflect postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in humans. It is well-known that corticosteroids, which inhibit both prostaglandin and leukotriene syntheses due to phospholipase A(2) inhibition, are effective for reducing PONV; however, the precise mechanisms remain unclear. We investigated the involvement of the prostaglandin or leukotriene pathway in the development of sevoflurane-induced pica. We found that sevoflurane-induced pica was effectively inhibited by pretreatment with a leukotriene receptor antagonist (montelukast) or an inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase (zileuton), rather than an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase (flurbiprofen). Furthermore, we observed that sevoflurane significantly increased urinary leukotriene excretion and 5-lipoxygenase mRNA expression in the spleen, but not hypothalamus. These results suggest that the production of leukotriene may lead to the development of sevoflurane-induced pica in rats, and that inhibition of the leukotriene pathway could be potentially useful for the treatment of PONV.
