Involvement of p38 Mapkinase in attenuation of antinociceptive effect of morphine in diabetic mice.

چکیده
Experimental diabetes induced by streptozotocin (200 mg/kg, ip) markedly decreased the antinociceptive effect of morphine and significantly increased the urinary nitrite concentration. Administration of FR-167653 (a selective p38MAPKinase inhibitor) in a dose of 4 mg/kg improved the antinociceptive effect of morphine and attenuated the increase in urinary nitrite concentration in diabetic mice. It may be concluded that diabetes-induced decrease in antinociceptive effect of morphine may be due to induction of p38 MAPKinase activity.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of hyperglycemia on the antinociceptive activity of baclofen, a GABAB agonist, in mice. Methods: We examined the antinociceptive effect of baclofen (2.5–7.5mg/kg injected intraperitoneally) in alloxan-induced mice using the hot-plate and tail-flick tests, both thermal tests.Results: Baclofen produced a dose-dependent inhibition of hot-plate response in both no...

A hydroethanolic extract (HE-ext) of Bacopa monnieri (BM) was studied for antinociceptive effect in the animal models of acetic-acid-induced writhing test and antilocomotive effect in mice. Standard centrally-acting analgesic, morphine (MP), and peripherally-acting one, diclofenac (Diclo), were also tested along with the extract for comparison. The extract exhibited significant antinociceptiv...

Background and Objective: Due to the presence of some evidence for anti-diabetic and antioxidant activity of Tribulus terrestris (TT), this study was designed to investigate the anti-nociceptive effect of TT in streptozotocin-diabetic rats using formalin test and hot tail immersion tests. Materials and Methods: Rats were divided into control, TT-treated control, diabetic, sodium salicylate (SS)...
متن کاملEvaluation of nitric oxide involvement in effect of lead on dependency to morphine in mice
In the present study, interactions between lead exposure with nitric oxide precursor (L-arginine) or nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor (L-NAME) on naloxone-induced jumping and diarrhea in morphine-dependent mice were examined. Chronic lead acetate (0.05%) exposure altered naloxone-induced jumping and diarrhea in mice. Jumping was decreased after 7 days and was unchanged 14 and 28 days after...
متن کاملAttenuation of morphine tolerance and dependence by thymoquinone in mice
Objectives: Dependence and tolerance are major restricting factors in the clinical use of opioid analgesics. In the present study, the effects of thymoquinone, the major constituent of Nigella sativa seeds, on morphine dependence and tolerance were investigated in mice. Materials and Methods: Male adult NMRI mice were made tolerant and dependent by repeated injections of morphine (50, 50, and 7...
