چکیده

The Tyr-MIF-1 family of neuropeptides (Tyr-MIF-1’s) includes MIF-1, Tyr-MIF-1, Tyr-W-MIF-1 and Tyr-K-MIF-1. Nowadays it is certain that they can modulate pain and some forms of stress-induced analgesia (SIA) by antiopiate and μ-specific processes. The objectives of the present study were twofold: 1) to determine the involvement of opioid system in analgesia induced by immobilization, cold and heat stress (IS, CS and HS); 2) to examine whether opioid system and second messengers are involved in the nociceptive effects of Tyr-MIF-1’s after the three stress models mentioned above. Male Wistar rats were used and nociception was measured by paw-pressure (PP) test. Tyr-MIF-1’s (all in 1 mg/kg), naloxone (Nal, 1 mg/kg) and Methylene Blue (MB, 500 μg/paw) were dissolved in saline and were injected intraperitoneally (i.p.). In the first experimental series Nal was administered 20 min before or immediately after stress procedure. In the second experimental series Nal and MB were administered immediately after stress procedure, 20 min and 60 min, respectively, before the administration of the investigated peptides. The results showed that: (i) opioid and non-opioid components are differently involved in each of stress models. The non-opioid system is mostly involved in CS, opioid – in HS, while both systems are equally presented in IS; (ii) different potency of Tyr-MIF-1’s was observed on immobilization, cold or heat SIA, which may be due to their peptide structure, specific binding sites and different interaction with components of SIA; (iii) opioid system and second messengers are involved in the nociceptive effects of Tyr-MIF-1’s after IS, CS and HS.

Involvement of Endogenous Opioidergic System in Effects of Food Deprivation on Formalin-Induced Nociceptive Behaviors in Rats

Background and Aims: It is well-recognized that endogenous opioidergic system plays an important role in pain sensitivity, pain perception, and response to some stressing situations. The present study examined the probable role of endogenous opioidergic system in effects of food deprivation on formalin-induced nociceptive behaviors in male and female rats. Methods: To make short-term food d...

Anti-Nociceptive Effects of Geraniin and an Aqueous Extract of the Aerial Parts of Phyllanthus muellerianus (Kuntze) Exell. in Murine Models of Chemical Nociception

Plants from the genus Phyllanthus like Phyllanthus muellerianus have long been used in folk medicine for several ailments including fevers, toothache, dysmenorrhea, anemia and paralysis. Despite these folkloric uses, there is little scientific data supporting the use of this plant in the management of pain. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the aqueous extract of the aerial parts of Phyl...

Comparison 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...
