Role of testosterone on pain threshold in rats.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pain thresholds were recorded in rats by progressive increase in electrical stimulation to induce tail withdrawal, vocalisation and vocalisation after discharge. It was observed that castration resulted in significant reduction of pain threshold which however returned to normal level on substitution with testosterone therapy.

the previous studies have been suggested that to tolerance,sensitivity and pain threshold are different between men and women.these differences can be affected by various factors.in this study,the effect of gonadectomy on gender differences in thermal pain sense threshold was tested hot plate method in rats.therefore the reaction time(the delay occurred in response to thermal stimulus)at zero,1...
متن کاملModification of thermal pain threshold by testosterone and ethinyloestradiol in male and female rats.
Sex affects sensitivity to pain (1,2). Testosterone decreases threshold to thermal pain in male rat while lack of it after castration elevates the threshold (3). Testosterone was also shown to alter morphine analgesia in thermal pain testing in rats (4). It is conceivable that pain mechanism is sensitized by testosterone in male rats. We now report on the influence of testosterone on pain thres...
متن کاملThe Effects of High-Intensity Interval Training with Supplementation of Flaxseed Oil on BDNF mRNA Expression and Pain Feeling in Male Rats
Background. It seems that based on the independent effects of physical activity and flax oil on pain, it is possible the interactions of these two effects reduces or mitigate the impact of pain or strengthen it. Objectives. This study investigates the effect of high-intensity interval training and flaxseed oil supplementation on hippocampal BDNF expression and pain feeling in male rats. M...

Introduction: Oxidative stress is an important factor in the induction of diabetes complications especially peripheral neuropathy and hyperalgesia, and it has been proven that regular aerobic exercise and vitamin E have antioxidant effects. Therefore, this study was designed to examine effects of regular aerobic exercise and vitamin E on thermal pain threshold in streptozocin-induced diabeti...
متن کاملEffects of regular swimming exercise on the pain threshold following withdrawal syndrome in morphine-dependent rats
Introduction: Nowadays Opioids are gaining acceptance for the management of moderate to severe and chronic pain. In addition, a number of studies have shown that plasma levels of β-endorphin (βEP) in exercise trained are higher than sedentary rats. In our study we assume that exercise training can reduce pain after withdrawal syndrome in morphine-dependent rats. Methods: Male Wistar rats (2...
