Magnesium and MK-801 have a similar effect in two experimental models of neuropathic pain.

چکیده
Considering that magnesium and non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonists inhibit the opening of the channel linked to the NMDA receptor, we assessed their effects on mechanical hyperalgesia in two animal models of neuropathic pain (rats with a sciatic nerve ligature and diabetic rats). Our data show that magnesium reverses the hyperalgesia, as does MK-801. These results suggest that magnesium could be an alternative for the treatment of neuropathic pain in patients.

Pre-emptive effects of MK-801 and morphine on behavioural responses in experimental chronic constriction sciatic nerve injury in adult male rats
Introduction: Neuropathic pain syndromes are changes resulting from damage to neuronal pathways that are characterized by spontaneous burning sensation with accompanying allodynia and hyperalgesia. Since the treatments of neuropathic pain are poorly understood and existing treatments are often ineffective, it is important to increase our understanding of the neuropathic pain states in order ...
متن کاملThe synergistic effect of treatment with triptolide and MK-801 in the rat neuropathic pain model
Triptolide (T10), an active component of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F, is reported to have potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Additionally, MK-801, a noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist, can reduce glutamate toxicity and has a significant analgesic effect on chronic pain. In this study, we tested the possible synergistic analgesic ability by intrathecal adminis...
متن کاملبررسی دخالت رسپتورهای NMDA در اثر ضد دردی ویتامین C در یک مدل دردنوروپاتیک
Background and Aim: Ascorbate (ascorbic acid) is present in high concentration in the nervous system and is released as a result of activation of glutaminergic neurons. Due to high concentration of NMDA receptors in the nervous system, this study investigated the analgesic efficacy of ascorbic acid (AA) in neuropathic pain condition and the role of NMDA receptors in this effect.Materials an...
متن کاملAntiallodynic Effects of Electroacupuncture Combined with MK-801 Treatment through the Regulation of p35/p25 in Experimental Diabetic Neuropathy
The anti-allodynic effect of NMDA receptor antagonist and acupuncture treatments were explored through spinal p35 regulation of diabetic neuropathic rat. We evaluated the change over time of p35/p25 protein levels in the spinal cord compared with behavioral responses to thermal and mechanical stimulation in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Additionally, we studied p35 expression when...
متن کاملComparison between the effect of gonadal hormones on nociceptive behavior of male rats in two neuropathic pain models
Introduction: As sex differences have been observed repeatedly in chronic pain, it is likely that the gonadal hormones are responsible for these differences. To investigate the responsible mechanism for chronic pain different models have been created. This study is examining the effects of gonadal hormones on nociceptive responses of the rats in CCI (chronic constriction injury) and SNI (spread...
